Prospects for Article 6: COP-26 and Beyond

Open to the Public

Article 6 of the Paris Agreement provides opportunities for national governments and the private sector to cooperate internationally to address climate change. In particular, it provides two modalities for international market-based mechanisms. At COP-26 in Glasgow in November, the Parties to the Paris Agreement will attempt (once again) to write the specific rules for implementing Article 6. Speakers in this event — all experts on Article 6 and market mechanisms more generally — will examine the potential of Article 6 — and its prospects at COP-26 and beyond.

One of the presentations will be based in large part on a recently completed discussion paper for the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements, which is available here.
