Pathways of (inter) Regional Collaboration towards a joint Implementation of Art. 6

Article 6 of the Paris Agreement gives Parties the opportunity to adopt cooperative approaches on a voluntary basis. The operationalization of the mechanisms brings challenges, the overcoming of which can be supported by the formation of so-called carbon clubs: countries can converge their positions on the implementation of the mechanisms, which in the best case will lead to a stronger commitment of the member states and ambitious reduction targets.

Against this background, the study "Pathways of (Inter) Regional Collaboration towards a joint implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement" by the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit Chile surveyed existing carbon clubs and bilateral agreements at the international level.
