Today is Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
As we have been reporting since last COP-27 in Egypt, the Goverment of Japan is leading the so-called Paris Agreement Article 6 Implementation Partnership (A6IP).
Besides Plenary Meetings, a few working groups were formed such as Authorization, Reporting and Tracking.
After Article 6, there is a brand new World for carbon credits, that should not take you - or any Government - by surprise.
As a member of the A6IP, Carbon Credit Markets closelly follows the developments, specially focusing on the Tracking Working Group. Click here to recall what we reported after the 1st meeting from last May 10th.
