COP 26 in Glasgow adopted the rulebook for Article 6 activities. A recent Carbon Mechanisms Research Paper takes in-depth look at the implications of the Glasgow decisions for the voluntary carbon market segment. The paper further analyses the needs for strategic decisions and alignment with the Art. 6 rulebook for different stakeholders, from activity proponents and suppliers, to Buyers and credit users, host countries as well as private certification standards.
The report develops an assessment framework that policy makers can use to determine whether offsets can add value while ensuring the environmental integrity of a compliance system.
