Developed on behalf of GIZ Article 6 Capacity Building Project. Component of global project NDC Assist II

About this Policy Note

Considering the role of project developers, this note provides an overview of the often under-explored link between the private sector and the market approaches proposed by Article 6, highlighting feasible paths to overcoming the barriers experienced by companies when designing and implementing mitigation activities. It examines how businesses, through their participation in international carbon markets, can align with country strategies to support both short-term NDC objectives and long-term goals. Understanding the dynamics between Article 6 and the private sector is essential to maximizing the potential of carbon markets, fostering innovation, and ensuring the financial sustainability of mitigation activities across borders.
