Our policy expert Isa Mulder spoke at a #COP29 event titled 'UNFCCC: Advancing integrity in carbon markets with the Paris Agreement crediting mechanism' which focused on Article 6.4 carbon markets. Isa highlighted some of the shortcoming and loopholes and urged the Article 6.4 Supervisory Body to take the requisite time and effort to fix them. #FixArticle6 If you are registered with the UNFCCC, you can watch the debate here. cop29platform.unfccc.int/eve…

#COP29 prend un mauvais départ ! 😭Les pays se sont mis d’accord sur le marché volontaire du #carbone, sans garanties pour le #climat et les les #droitshumains. Approuver cela sans discussion ou débat est dangereux pour les négociations et peut affaiblir l’action. #FixArticle6

#COP29 takes a false start with States agreeing on rules to kickstart emission trading that will harm people & the global climate. Approving these rules without discussion or debate sets a dangerous precedent for the negotiations & further weakens climate action. #FixArticle6

Arriving today at #COP29 to hear that some want to skip the negotiations on #Article6o4 and call it good enough. There's one problem: it is not good enough. No land rights and very weak removal definitions. We've got two weeks, let's #FixArticle6. #carbonjustice

COP29 will determine whether Article 6 of the Paris Agreement can deliver better rules for carbon markets, or whether it will fast track implementation at the expense of quality and accountability.

The half-baked deal on Article 6 struck at #COP26 "risks turning up the temperature dial instead of keeping it below 1.5°C,” said CMW executive director @SabineBFrank Read our full reaction here: carbonmarketwatch.org/2021/1… #FixArticle6

Article 6 must protect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities. There must also be no double counting of carbon credits and no carryover of old junk credits. Article 6 must also deliver real emissions reductions. Let's #FixArticle6
The clock is running down on #COP26 and Parties are still negotiating the final text on #Article6. The protection and promotion of #HumanRights must be placed at the core of any outcome. No rules are better than rules that undermine human rights! A thread 🧵

The Integrity of the Paris Agreement is at stake at #COP26. If #Article6 rules are adopted at #COP26, it's critical that they ensure: Environmental integrity in all article 6 activities; #HumanRights & the rights of Indigenous Peoples are protected #FixArticle6 @StateDept

The rights of indigenous peoples and local communities must be a central plank of Article 6. Delegates at #COP26 must #FixArticle6.

⚠️If current text moves forward, communities & indigenous peoples impacted by harmful decisions would only be offered the first option above and be denied real justice Here is problematic provision from most recent draft: supervisory body mandated to review its own decision…

Robi Redda of @SouthSouthNorth highlighted the negative impact on climate targets of poor voluntary carbon market accounting. Projects are welcome only after a thorough cost-benefit analysis, he stressed. #COP26 #FixArticle6 #COP26Glasgow

All eyes on article 6 in the last few days of #COP26 ! Rather than vague agreements on sectoral emissions devoid of actual targets, the rules of art. 6 could make or break the credibility of Paris! #FixArticle6 indeed!

➡️L’exclusion du secteur des terres dans les approches marchandes Oui ce secteur a un rôle à jouer mais pas dans les marchés ! Alors on se concentre sur les approches non marchandes de 6.8 et on va de l’avant sur ce paragraphe même si les autres s’enlisent ! 5/6 #FixArticle6

“If one ton of CO2 is reduced somewhere, it should be counted by one country, not two or three or four. That’s just basic accounting," CMW's @GillesDufrasne told @POLITICOEurope Stamping out climate cheating at #COP26 #FixArticle6 politico.eu/article/cop26s-k…
