Outline of activity
1. Legal readiness for ITMO transfers under the respective national laws
This Transfer Readiness Assistance (TRA) project will support countries with the following outputs, to ensure they are legally ready to engage in ITMO transactions with Switzerland under their respective
national laws:● Institutionalization of Climate Change Policies: Legal gap assessment and recommendations for inclusiveness of policies and laws, their embeddement in broader policy frameworks and assessmentof distinctions between mitigation targets to achive the NDC goals and for international transfers.
● Analysis of the legal capability of the country to transfer title to ITMO activity emission reductions and removals. Review of the concept of ITMOs and the legal titles attached to them in the context ofthe national laws.
● Review of Government authority to transfer ITMO titles. This involves the review of transferability of carbon rights and the related procedures that set out specific rules for the transfer of titles toemission reductions from a public or private entity to another (or to the government). Recommendations and steps to pass the ownership of emission reductions contractually by parties and thedevelopment of prescribed forms.
● Sectoral readiness for private sector engagement and direct cross-border investing. Assessment of policies and laws for foreign private investment (equity and debt) into national companies andpossibilities of public-private partnerships.

2. Support establishment of ITMO operational processes to facilitate ITMO project selection, authorizations, implementation, ITMO transfers and related corresponding adjustments.
An overarching Article 6.2 strategy is expected to settle policy questions regarding the:● relationship between NDC and mitigation activities to generate ITMOs;● ensuring environmental integrity in transacting ITMOs;● maximising sustainable development benefits;● eligibility criteria for potential mitigation activities;● clarity on the use of ITMOs;● pricing and share of proceeds utilization;● overall governance structure;● linkages with voluntary markets, crediting schemes, Article 6.4 and CORSIA;● standards and methodologies;● Article 6.2 infrastructure;● authorisation, corresponding adjustment and reporting;● capacity development and awareness support.
The consequent operationalization of ITMO project implementations will be guided through a digital ITMO operational manual, set-up on the global ITMO collaboration platform (see activity 3) which willtranslate the policy provision into concrete operational guidance on the mitigation activity development and implementation related institutional procedures.
This project will support countries establish their operational process through delivering the following outputs:● Review of the global state of carbon pricing policies and carbon markets and interlinkages between the NDCs and emerging post-2020 climate markets.
● Development of a national Article 6.2 strategy. This strategy will reflect the latest knowledge, experiences and practices at the international level. The strategy will address broader policy questions
related to relationship between NDC and mitigation activities to generate ITMOs.

Global(However, target countries are only
countries with signed bilateral Article
6.2 agreements with Switzerland)● At least two stakeholder consultations during the development of the documents and a final validation workshop to approve the Article 6.2 strategy and ITMO operational manual.

3. Digital Article 6.2 Platform to enhance cooperation between host countries and buying countries and strengthen countries’ awareness about Article 6.2.
Article 6.2 activities follow a project cycle which is similar to earlier carbon markets under the Kyoto Protocol with the most prominent being the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) with newly added
steps such as the authorization and transfer of ITMOs and related corresponding adjustments. These processes follow certain universally applicable steps while other steps will be nationally determined
for which countries will establish their national processes.
The national processes will include ITMO project authorization, monitoring, verifications and ITMO issuance, transfers and corresponding adjustments. UNDP will provide support to harmonize theprocesses through a digital Article 6.2 platform to align and streamline processes and facilitate cooperation between and among countries active in cooperative approaches as well as newcomers
interested in engaging in cooperative approaches with Switzerland. The advantages of operationalizing a global digital platform with access rights for host and buyer countries are: (1) it will further
improve transparency and comparability of Article 6.2 processes and; (2) through awareness raising and information sharing also enhance participation of countries in emerging carbon markets.
While the platform will be established through other funding sources, up to 4 new countries and 3 components will be added to expand the utilization of the platform such as Peer to Peer interactions, a
coded mobile app for enhanced user services and plausibility verifications during ITMO project implementation.
Furthermore, under this outcome, UNDP will raise awareness about opportunities and progress on Article 6.2 and communicate and disseminate success stories in English, French and Spanish throughthe Article 6.2 platform in multiple delivery formats. This will include an effective communication of the strengths and lessons learned from the individual Article 6.2 activities in each target country togarner whole of government support and replicate actions at global levels.
The project will achieve these goals through the following outputs:● Develop mobile app features, linked to the platform for monitoring of ITMO projects.
● Develop secure layers to payment transfers for registration and issuance fees.
● Establish connection features for national registries and external platforms.
● Development of at least 6 success stories in the target countries in English and the national (UN) language, where applicable.
● Participate in at least two conferences and/or webinars per year to disseminate best practices and lessons learned at national, regional and global level.

4. Hands-on “Learning by Doing” on operationalization of the ITMO project cycle
The success of any carbon exchange programme depends on robust processes for implementation of ITMO projects and credible developer and project data that allows independent scrutiny at every
level of ITMO project development and implementation. The stream of generated ITMOs must occur on a functional emission transaction registry to ensure environmental integrity. Emissions arerecorded in a database with serialised emission reduction units and other public information including vintages of emission units, identity and location of projects, project funders, and verification details.
The procedures for the implementation of ITMO projects will include (i) processes for project developers, (ii) project registration procedures, (iii) implementation of transaction registry systems and thedefinition of different users, user rights and responsibilities to operate the systems.
UNDP will provide hands-on support to allow countries active learning by doing throughout the TRA project with the goal to fully operationalize the ITMO project cycle as well as the use of emission
transaction registries where available and the application of corresponding adjustments. Through additional targeted trainings on the ITMO operational manual and the ITMO project processes, UNDP will
ensure smooth ITMO issuances and ITMO transfers.
This will be achieved through the following outputs:● Development of training materials for the ITMO operational manual and the emission registry/Excel spreadsheet.
● Provide hands-on support during the institutionalization of the ITMO project implementation processes and work closely with users in key roles and with key responsibilities for effective ITMO project
implementation.
● On-going learning by doing will be provided for tracking of authorized ITMO projects, and issued and transferred ITMOs.
● Conduct at least 4 targeted trainings per country for 4 key user groups: Lead ministry stakeholders, line ministries stakeholders, private sector stakeholders and national finance institutions.

Outline of activity

In alignment with the WBG Climate Action Plan 2021-25, the objective of the Partnership for Market Implementation Facility (PMIF) is to contribute to accelerating global decarbonization efforts by:• Assisting client countries to design and deploy explicit carbon pricing policies/programs appropriate to their domestic context and compatible with their sustainable development priorities; and• Catalyzing the development of the next generation of international carbon markets.
Through various initiatives and programs under the PMIF, the World Bank is providing Article 6 capacity building support for our clients in two forms:• Developing and conceptualizing new ideas and prototypes that would contribute to operationalizing carbon markets, scaling up climate actions, and supporting clients in making informed decisions• Providing support to clients in piloting and implementation of the new approaches developed
PMIF coordinates with relevant WBG initiatives, MDBs, UNFCCC, international development partners and regional alliances to bring more synergies and ensure complementarities across different
activities.
Concrete activities and support provided under the PMIF include :• Piloting generation of emission reduction credits from World Bank lending operations: Building on the existing GHG accounting, the World Bank is working on a systematic framework to identify,
generate, and track emission reduction credits from its lending operations in support of countries’ decarbonization pathways. The program will initially pilot the generation of emission reduction credits
from select lending operations on an opt-in basis.
• Develop an end-to-end digital ecosystem for carbon markets and climate action: With a view to enhancing liquidity, efficiency, accuracy, sustainability, and transparency of the carbon markets, theWorld Bank is exploring the use of new and advanced digital technologies for carbon markets including:o Digitalize and automate measuring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systemo Support countries with establishment of national MRV and registry systems to participate in international carbon markets
o Integrate digital MRV at the mitigation project level with national MRV systems and the registry, where appropriateo Connect decentralized registry systems through the Climate Warehouse information system to enable tracking of emission reduction credits and reduce double counting riskso Explore how tokenization of emission reduction credits and smart contracts can help scale up climate action through enhanced security, liquidity, and transparencyo Capacity building and training on operation of national MRV and registry systems• Innovate financial mechanisms: Strategic and innovative use of climate and carbon finance can help meet the financing gap and contribute to catalyzing additional private capital. The World Bank isdeveloping innovative financing mechanisms and business models that deploy them intelligently to meet client needs and attract private investment. Examples of concepts being developed include:o New methodologies for estimating emission reductions (e.g., from coal transition and green hydrogen production); this can present an opportunity for new mitigation actions in client countries toaccess results-based climate finance, and potentially create a pathway for accessing carbon finance in the futureo Instruments and approaches that could help manage regulatory risks associated with emerging carbon markets (e.g., corresponding adjustment risk guarantee), and contribute to improving projects’
creditworthinesso Exploration of the establishment of a seller-side carbon fund which aggregates credits to reduce transaction costs, enable branding as double green through reinvestment of a portion of theproceeds in climate mitigation and adaptation, and create a streamlined process for participation in markets at the domestic levelo Develop the concept of emission reduction-linked bonds that can securitize future cash flows from an Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreement (ERPA) to make the funds available to the project
entity upfront through an IBRD bond issuanceo Develop template documents such as General Terms and Conditions for Purchase and Sale, as well as options contract• Support establishing country processes and institutional arrangements for Article 6: A systematic and streamlined decision making process backed by robust institutional arrangements and the policy
framework is essential for countries to effectively plan, utilize, and manage Article 6 and international carbon market transactions to achieve their NDCs. The World Bank developed several approach
papers that clarify the carbon asset development process, provide options on how host countries can design institutions and approval procedures at the domestic level, and the role of a national policy
framework for conducting Article 6.2 transactions. Through the Partnership for Market Implementation (PMI), the piloting and implementation of such support will be provided to selected countries.
• Develop knowledge products (information papers, approach papers, guidance notes), analytical frameworks, and tools for capacity building: PMIF produces various analytical outputs to help client
countries prepare for their participation in international carbon markets and make informed decisions. Some of these knowledge products include:o Article 6 Approach Papers on host countries’ crediting strategy, pricing strategy, reporting requirements under the Paris Agreement, etc.
o A guidance note on options available for monetizing emission reduction creditso A guidance note on defining quality of emission reduction creditso Mitigation Action Assessment Protocol – International Transfer Readiness (MAAP-ITR) tool developed to help benchmark a country’s readiness and performance in international carbon markets• Capacity building on requirements under the Paris Agreement and for participating in the international carbon markets: PMIF, through PMI and Climate Warehouse, develops and delivers various
capacity building and training activities to countries on various aspects of the Paris Agreement and to understand the participation requirements for international carbon markets.

Multilateral/Global

Outline of activity
The Partnership for Market Implementation (PMI) is a World Bank Multilateral Fund assisting countries to design, pilot, andimplement pricing instruments (e.g., carbon taxes and emissions trading systems) aligned with their development priorities
whilst facilitating knowledge exchange across borders. PMI 10-year program to bring an ambitious and long-term vision for theviability of carbon markets to its support for programs and policies -- across jurisdictions and sectors -- that introduce a strong
price signal on carbon emissions and contribute to the Paris Agreement goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C.The facility
size is $100m (with a capitalization target of US$250 m), of which the UK provided £20m.
From Readiness
PMI is the successor program to the World Bank’s successful Partnership for Market Readiness (PMR) effort that, from 2011
to 2021, supported 23 emerging economies and developing countries to design and deploy carbon pricing and market
instruments to facilitate the reduction of emissions. PMR provided funding and technical assistance to 23 countries,
accounting for 46% of global greenhouse gas emissions, all of whom now have the basic nuts and bolts for establishing acarbon pricing system.
To Implementation
PMI responds to the increased demand for carbon pricing implementation support from countries. Over half --69 of 195
countries -- have indicated that they are planning or considering the use of carbon pricing to meet their Nationally Determined
Contributions (NDCs).
The Partnership launched in 2021 to help countries embarking on carbon pricing to move from readiness to rollout.
The Partnership will:• Support 30 countries and jurisdictions in the development and implementation of carbon pricing instruments to meet their
NDC targets and long-term decarbonization strategies.
• Help countries participate in the operationalization of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, which would facilitate international
cooperation on carbon markets and promote the convergence of national carbon pricing instruments.
• Help countries identify and implement best practice approaches and, where relevant, help them achieve compatibility indesign with other carbon pricing efforts and markets. • Inform the national and international policy discussions on greenhousegas mitigation by sharing lessons learned and by providing a platform for collective innovation on carbon pricing instruments.
• Develop a comprehensive knowledge base on carbon pricing instruments and market mechanisms, and facilitate
information exchange through technical discussions and dissemination of knowledge products
PMI work will look directly at Article 6, through knowledge projects, workshops, and country support with PMI and Partnershipfor Market Development and Innovation Facility (PMIF) umbrella trust fund being well positioned to support countries throughthe program components. Capacity building for Article 6.2 participation requirements and engagement int Article 6.4 will be
critical for many developing countries. Furthermore, the World Bank hope to mobilise additional resource for this work.
The Transformative Carbon Asset Facility (TCAF) is a multilateral fund at the World Bank Group that seeks to pilot carbon
market mechanisms under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement by combining results-based payments for verified emission
reductions with internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs). The fund was established in 2017 in an effort to test
various methods to operationalize ITMOs between parties and develop transaction structures while ensuring stringent
accounting, transparency, and environmental integrity of carbon assets.
The unique - and transformative - aspect of TCAF is that it is focused on implementing crediting programs at the policy, sector,
and jurisdiction levels (for example, crediting for energy sector reforms, sector performance standards/targets or programs to
reduce the carbon footprint of municipalities).

Transformative
Carbon Asset
Facility (TCAF)〇〇

Multilateral/Global(Middle Income
Countries. Aiming to operate in 4-5
countries )A key feature of TCAF is furthermore that it uses both climate finance (public ODA) and carbon finance (funding to acquire
ITMOs) contributions to fund its projects in a phased approach. The concept is to first use climate finance to achieve verified
emission reductions to help achieve the host country’s NDC, including technical assistance for developing capacity forlinkages between these activities and Article 6 to generate ITMOs. The second phase then introduces carbon finance for theacquisition of ITMOs generated by the policy-level mitigation activity beyond the host country’s NDC.
TCAF($210m) supports scaled up policy level carbon crediting programmes where the implementing country is planning totake ambitious climate mitigation action. This could be via regulations, fiscal policies, feed-in-tariffs or other forms of financial
incentives. In collaboration with the implementing entity (normally a Government ministry) TCAF will design a methodologythat pays for additional verified emissions reductions above current ambition, providing targeted support to unlock barriers,
provide finance for results, and allow increased climate ambition to be realised.
TCAF will provide targeted capacity building for Article 6 collaboration in host countries where an agreement is signed. TCAF’s
policy implementation support plans aim to provide host countries with an overview of the steps that will help the government
prepare for Article 6 collaboration. They will be structured around:
1. Strategizing for Article 6 engagement, which explores high-level opportunities, risks and conditions for Article 6
engagements, as well as identifies key areas and questions that need to be explored to develop an engagement strategy.
2. Governing Article 6 collaboration, which explores in more detail the necessary governance structures and institutionalframeworks that will need to be developed to guide and implement Article 6 collaboration, including to meet the monitoring
requirements as established by the Rulebook.

As part of Ci-Dev’s post-2020 crediting approach, the programme will roll out its Standardised Crediting
Framework (SCF) in all Ci-Dev host countries, which will align with Article 6.2. of the Paris Agreement. Ci-Dev isalready helping to deliver capacity building in a country focused, learning by doing manner, and this SCF rollout
will help support national and regional actors develop the institutional frameworks required for Paris aligned
carbon market participation.
A6SF has designed a modular introductory training program for key government officials and other relevant
stakeholders involved in developing and implementing national policies and programs related to carbon
markets. The objective of the training program is to enhance the capacity of participating DMCs to develop
national frameworks for operationalizing Article 6. The A6SF’s modular training program is comprised of four
modules encompassing:
Module 1 – Introduction to national climate policy;
Module 2 – Introduction to carbon pricing;
Module 3 – Introduction to international and domestic carbon markets; and,
Module 4 – Introduction to Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
ADB convenes the ADB Roundtables on Article 6 to enable its DMCs to contribute to the development andeventually take advantage of new carbon markets under Article 6. The Roundtables aim to facilitate discussion
among architects of new market mechanisms under the Paris Agreement to build deeper understanding of thetechnical options and key issues for the ongoing international negotiations. Two types of ADB Roundtables havebeen convened: Roundtables on Creating a Regional Carbon Market Alliance and Roundtable discussions on
Capacity Building for Article 6 Issues.

Regional

The training provided participants with an overview of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and how it presents newopportunities and challenges for international trading. Concepts for the operationalization of Article 6 indeveloping countries were presented including different types/scales of crediting, the role and responsibilities ofvarious stakeholders in conducting Article 6 pilots, as well as an overview of current activities being consideredas Article 6 pilots. The workshop delved into the economic, technical, and policy issues and trained participants
on developing approaches and criteria for screening prospective mitigation actions for piloting under Article 6 aswell as developing a roadmap for the design and development of Article 6 pilots.

Regional

Co-organized with UNFCCC, UN ESCAP, UNEP, and UNDP, REdiCAP provides an opportunity for senior
government officials from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Central Asia Regional
Economic Cooperation (CAREC) region to explore and discuss the benefits of carbon pricing to meet NDC
targets, the challenges, tools, and best practices in implementation.

Regional (SIDS/LDCs)

The workshop on carbon pricing was conducted for key policy makers in V20 countries in Asia and the Pacific toprovide them with knowledge on the latest state and trends of carbon pricing globally as well as in Asia Pacific,
and how carbon pricing can be an effective instrument to be a new source of public revenue and shapeeconomy level climate actions as part of the broader climate policy toolbox to achieve climate targets articulated
under their respective Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and raise ambition over time. Together with
the Regional Pacific NDC Hub, a subsequent workshop was organized for key policy makers in Small Island
Developing States (SIDS) in Asia and the Pacific. ADB regularly convenes such regional workshops with otherdevelopment partners.

The measure is highly replicable. The ABM will be used to mobilize new finance for replication through results-based payments. For this purpose,an ABM baseline and monitoring methodology is being developed that can be used to demonstrate the adaptation benefits to be generated throughsuch project types, which will be in the public domain and can be used free-of-charge. The project will also deliver a new tool to predict the flooding
risks that can be tailored to specific locations for a small fee. The ABM delivers quantified and verified adaptation benefits and, hence, enhances
the MRV and accountability of adaptation action.
The project has the potential to contribute to meeting the needs and priorities for adaptation in the Nigerian Nationally Determined Contribution
under the Paris Agreement, specifically those requiring international cooperation and support.
The capacity building provided under this project targets the local community, and the local and federal governments.
The local community will be capacitated on climate change impacts and measures; and provided with technical skills to operate and maintain the
Slamdam technology, including by women. The local and federal governments will learn about using the ABM to mobilize finance for adaptation.

Outline of activity
The Indo-Pacific Carbon Offsets Scheme (IPCOS) is a $104 million, 10 year commitment to climate action in the region.
Australia is working side-by-side with partners to deliver demand-driven support and enhance the region’s capacity toparticipate in a high-integrity global carbon markets.
IPCOS is a partnership arrangement between the private and not-for profit sectors, Australian Government, and Indo-Pacificcountries hosting projects.
IPCOS will help to boost the region’s ability to attract new public and private investment in climate action. Carbon abatement
projects initiated under the Scheme will endeavour to deliver non-carbon benefits which contribute to Sustainable Development
Goals. The Scheme will align with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, including the application of robust accounting to ensure theavoidance of double counting.
Governance arrangements will give a voice to peoples and communities impacted by projects and deliver market assurance
while respecting countries’ sovereignty and acknowledging project host countries’ circumstances.
In response to needs identified by partner countries, IPCOS will draw upon Australian institutional experience and technicalexpertise to collaborate by:• Working with partners on the policy frameworks and technical capacity required for meeting NDCs and participation in
global carbon markets• Establishing robust and responsive project authorisation and other governance processes• Meeting international transparency obligations to ensure no double counting of traded abatement• Knowledge sharing and technology transfer, especially between communities, traditional landowners and First Nations
peoples• Cooperative emissions reduction projects that demonstrate the creation and trade of robust, high-integrity offsets, andwhich offer sustainable environmental, adaptation and livelihoods benefits that are valued by local communities• Developing and sharing a suite of digital tools and guidance, including a data analysis and mapping tool that can be used
to calculate potential carbon emissions and sequestration in the land sector at the national and regional level quickly, easily
and transparently
IPCOS leverages Australia’s recognised expertise in robust measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of greenhouse gas
emissions and removals, as well as strong regional and bilateral partnerships. IPCOS, through its Transparency initiative, will:o Enhance participating countries’ ability to meet and report against their Nationally Determined Contributions and meettransparency standards under the Paris Agreement.
o Boost Parties’ mutual confidence in claimed outcomes and market confidence in the integrity of internationally-tradedcarbon abatement more broadly.
o Give the region a stronger voice in global standard setting, through our collaboration on transparency mechanisms.

From 2017 to 2022, Canada supported countries in the Pacific Alliance (Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru) andWest Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cote d’Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau,
Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo) to define regional and national priorities toaddress greenhouse gas (GHG) and short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) emissions and to pursue opportunities
to strengthen their capacity to measure, report, and verify (MRV) emissions. These projects have facilitated
South-South MRV collaboration and knowledge sharing within and between the Pacific Alliance and West Africa
as a means of exchanging and replicating best practices generated from Canada’s climate finance sectoral
projects in each region.

In 2022, Canada announced the continuation and expansion of this work in the Pacific Alliance and four
countries in West Africa (Togo, The Gambia, Ghana and Liberia) valued at CAD $24.5 million over 4 years(2022-2026). These projects will support countries to strengthen and scale up their climate governance by
establishing national climate measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) systems. This will support data
driven policymaking and advance the mobilization of investments and the acceleration of climate mitigation
actions to implement Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement. While advancing
cooperative approaches under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, such as Internationally Transferred Mitigation
Outcomes (ITMOs), are not a specific purpose of these projects, Article 6 related activities may be part ofongoing conversations and subject to potential pilots depending on partners’ priorities and interest. Project
activities, particularly those that build capacity for effective GHG accounting systems and transparency, areimportant precursors to access and engage in any international carbon markets under the Paris Agreement.

As a member country of the GRA, New Zealand supports various fellowships and awards schemes to help scientists develop
new and innovative solutions to address agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Building capacity and sharing knowledge andresearch experiences between countries and organisations is an important way to accelerate global solutions to reduce
agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and enhance food security. Some of these award schemes include:● CLIFF-GRADS (also supported by GRA members and partners)
Building capability of early career agricultural students in developing countries to conduct applied research on climate change
mitigation in agriculture (124 recipients so far).
CLIFF-GRADS provide short-term grants for students currently enrolled in PhD programmes to undertake scientific training
and research on topics related to measurement and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and/or carbon storage in
agricultural systems and quantification of greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation potential from food loss and waste.
● NZ-GRADSNZ-GRADS is a PhD scholarship offered to science students from developing countries to complete their PhD at a New
Zealand university.
The PhD research topics must be related to greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural systems, primarily livestock, butinnovative and novel aspects of this will be considered, especially related to new technologies or new applications of existing
technologies.
The GRA offers a wide range of capability building and research programmes through various partners within New Zealandand internationally. These PhD students are actively supported through various extension and networking events that we hostin New Zealand.
● RUFORUM GRA-GRG
A series of Graduate Research Grants (CRG) to facilitate capability building in Africa. Through the RUFORUM network ofuniversities in Africa, these grants support a Principal Investigator to support at least two Masters students. This research andtraining is on topics related to the measurement and management of greenhouse gas emissions and removals in pastoral andagro-pastoral ruminant livestock farming systems in Africa.
Supporting the development of capability in African universities is crucial to support Africa to respond to the goals establishedby the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as well as national and regional
priorities of African States.
● LEARN technical training awards
LEARN (The Livestock Emissions Abatement Research Network) Award builds international capability in livestock emissions
research. The awards support technical staff and scientists from developing countries and GRA member countries to work
alongside New Zealand colleagues. They share knowledge on livestock greenhouse gas emissions measurement, modellingand mitigation practice to increase the level of scientific skills and technological capabilities internationally.

Strengthened Institutions for a Sustainable Climate (SISC) programme aspires to contribute to theimplementation of National Determined Contributions by strengthening partner countries and selectedorganisations capacities to produce, analyse and use climate related data for mitigation, adaptation, urban
planning and governance measures. Themes in ongoing projects are:● Development of transparency systems (MRV, processes for data collection, greenhouse gas inventories).
● Climate adaptation (action plans, impact of climate change, disaster risk reduction, tree planting, genderaspects).
● Urbanisation (planning, stakeholder involvement, slum upgrading, environment, buildings, air pollution andtransport).

Mutual Learning program for Enhanced Transparency (MLP) is a peer-to-peer learning activity by paring
countries to deep dive into technical discussion in order to improve and enhance the understanding of reporting
under Article 6 and Article 13 for preparing future biennial transparency reports (BTRs). The MLP continues 7months in total and all discussion meetings are implemented through online.
The MLP consists of two tracks: reporting under Article 6 using the joint crediting mechanism (JCM) as an
example, and the other for under Article 13, in which reporting of mitigation actions. For reporting under Article
6, MLP participants draft three types of reporting (i.e. initial report, annual information, and regular information)in accordance with the Guidance on cooperative approaches referred to in Article 6, paragraph 2, of the Paris
Agreement . In reporting Article 13 of the MLP, similarly participants develop draft reports on mitigation actions(e.g. waste and agriculture sectors) using the common tabular formats complying with the Modalities,
procedures and guidelines for the enhanced transparency framework (MPGs) .

The Alliance was officially launched in June 201 with the specific objectives:● Promoting a common vision on carbon markets and climate finance in the region;● Fostering an active and better coordinated participation of delegates from the region in the UNFCCC
negotiations on market mechanisms and climate finance as well as other international fora;● Supporting readiness to implement Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

West Africa, East Africa, Senegal,
Ethiopia, Uganda● Managing the transition of CDM-related capacities and activities into the Paris Agreement context through local pilot
projects● Supporting Article 6 pilot experiences in the region while sharing implementation knowledge in the negotiations and viceversa

The Climate Finance Innovators Project aims to develop replicable climate financing models in Ethiopia,
Senegal and Uganda that are based on the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) elements and activities. The
project thereby establishes innovative linkages between UNFCCC market mechanisms and international climate
financing institutions such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The partner countries stand out regarding theirambition, regional lighthouse effect and relevance for climate negotiations. In all three countries, the projectworks with government partners and the private sector to formulate funding proposals that scale up existing pilot
mitigation actions, thus mobilizing pre-2020 action with high sustainable development impacts. National andregional capacity development as well as conceptual work strengthen readiness and the enabling environment
in the host countries. Lessons learned are being fed continuously into the climate negotiations and publicdebate, thereby contributing to the design of Paris Agreement policy instruments – in particular Article 6. The
cooperation with African climate negotiators supports their impact on the UNFCCC process.

In designing international market-based cooperation as set out in Articles 6.2 and 6.4 of the Paris Agreement,
the Parties ought to consider the experience gained to date under the Kyoto Protocol (e.g., under the Clean
Development Mechanism) and build on successful models. With this in mind, Germany supports the CMM-WG,
established at the Innovate4Climate in Singapore in June 2019.

The International Initiative for Development of Article 6 Methodology Tools (II-AMT) is an international expert-led
process to enable the alignment of approved Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) baseline and monitoring
methodologies with rules and principles for collaboration under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Experts from allcontinents will bring different perspectives from their knowledge of climate policies and practices in key regions
combined with long-standing expertise in CDM methodologies. The group of experts will develop specific ‘Article
6 methodology tools’ reflecting the principles and approaches of Article 6. The tools can be added to existingbaseline and monitoring methodologies in a modular fashion. This will support the rapid operationalisation ofmarket-based cooperation under Article 6. Article 6 methodologies then do not need to be developed “fromscratch”, which would take many years and would require significant financial and human resources.

The project enables public and private decision-makers to use national and international carbon market
instruments for the implementation of their climate change mitigation activities. In the partner countries, theproject supports the further development of market mechanisms and promotes innovative climate protection
projects. Planning for cooperation with the Caribbean has been under way since 2021.

RegionThrough studies and analyses, the project strengthens the ability of public decision-makers in the partnercountries to make use of new and existing carbon market instruments. It advises government agencies andprivate sector actors on the opportunities provided by market-based instruments. Experiences and lessons
learned are shared with relevant actors at conferences and workshops. The project also strengthens theparticipation of the partner countries in international negotiations and South-South knowledge exchange.
The objective of the SPAR6C Program is to increase climate action ambition across four implementation
countries: Colombia, Pakistan, Thailand, and Zambia. Through strategic use of Article (A6) cooperative
approaches, cost-effective international carbon markets will be developed that engage the private sector in NDC
implementation through high integrity ITMO transactions with positive sustainability impacts and overselling
safeguards. Research-based capacity building will catalyze the High Ambition Community of Practice (HA-CoP)
to further support the transformative aspects of the program.

GlobalGGGI will work with a host country to establish internal procedures necessary to authorize transactions under
Article 6.
This may be through development support of a body within government, with representation from acrossministries. This body will be designed to monitor progress towards NDC targets, review activities that generate
emission reductions flows to determine whether their government should proceed with finance throughinternational carbon markets or undertake the activity with internal finance as part of efforts to achieve their
NDC. Where necessary the programme will support countries to understand and create rules on Article 6
participation, as well as give guidance on the key aspects such as ownership and corresponding adjustments.
Once frameworks have been designed and established GGGI will support the host countries practicalapplication of the frameworks.
This project supports host countries to engage in international carbon transactions through the design of policy
approaches under Article 6. The project supports host countries to develop policy approaches with a carbon
price output that enables them to undertake national-level emission reductions. As with all GGGI’s work, anyintervention will need to have full country ownership and implementation will be country led – GGGI acting as
enabling partner supporting the government as and when needed.
Gold Standard has established an Article 6 Early Movers Programme to support project developers,
governments and other actors to understand and apply Article 6 guidance adopted at COP26 for project-based
activities. The programme includes:● A dedicated helpdesk to respond to questions from project developers, government officials or otherstakeholders related to the implementation of, and implications of, Article 6 guidance● Supporting the piloting of early Article 6 activities, through technical support to project developers and hostcountries related to the process of requesting and granting a Letter of Authorisation.
● Opportunities for peer-to-peer exchange and knowledge-sharing, to learn from and build on successful
experiences. This includes a webinar series, details of which are available here
(https://www.goldstandard.org/blog-item/article-6-webinar-series).
The primary objective of the programme is to support and enable early authorisations of credits for use under
Article 6, providing proof-of-concept and practical experience to support the scaling of market activity under theParis Agreement. Gold Standard is working closely with other entities providing capacity-building support andintends to add value by (a) supporting Article 6 application under an established standard; and (b) providing
support for non-state actors such as project developers.
IETA and ALLCOT developed a training workshop on Article 6 readiness aimed at government officials,
business representatives and carbon market experts of countries that intend to make use of Article 6
cooperative mechanisms.

B-PMI will leverage the knowledge and experience of IETA’s secretariat and membership to promote a common
understanding with local businesses in target countries, share best practices and support the emergence of a
new global carbon pricing architecture where different domestic and international markets co-exist in an
integrated and interoperable ecosystem.

B-PMI will be launched in May 2022 and plans to operate as follows:● Phase 1 (Q2 2022): launch; selection of initial target countries; start engagement.
● Phase 2 (Q3 2022 – Q4 2023): operations in the first 2-3 target countries.
● Phase 3 (Q1 2024 and beyond): based on the experiences of Phase 2, expand the programme in additional
jurisdictions. Depending on the level of interest, funding and results achieved, the programme will expand at a
rate of up to 2-3 target countries per year
B-PMI will build on IETA’s successful implementation of B-PMR, a business-to-business capacity building
programme focus on carbon pricing readiness (https://www.ieta.org/B-PMR).
Deliverables will include workshops and webinars as well as a digital library of publications and audiovisuals.
