The Paris Agreement Article 6 Implementation Partnership (A6IP) aims to build capacity for implementing high-integrity carbon credit mechanisms under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Established at COP27, A6IP promotes understanding of Article 6 rules, shares best practices for governance arrangements, conducts training on reporting and technical review, assists in developing sound baseline methodologies, and supports the design of carbon credit mechanisms with environmental integrity. Through international collaboration, A6IP seeks to enhance capabilities for robust crediting and transparency needed to realize the potential of Article 6 in raising climate ambition. By championing rigorous standards, A6IP aims to advance equitable, transparent carbon credit mechanisms that drive sustainable development and meaningful global emission reductions in line with the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement.

The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat supports the global response to the climate crisis. With nearly universal membership of 198 Parties, the UNFCCC oversees three pivotal agreements: the founding 1992 UNFCCC treaty, 1997 Kyoto Protocol, and 2015 Paris Agreement. The overarching objective of the Paris Agreement is to limit global temperature rise this century to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Overall, the UNFCCC agreements share the goal of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations to prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system, allowing time for ecosystems to naturally adapt and enabling sustainable development. As the core UN entity tasked with driving climate action, the UNFCCC plays a critical role in spearheading the global collaboration urgently needed to tackle the existential threat of climate change.
