After COP26: The interplay between Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and the Voluntary Carbon Market

The outcome of COP26 is a positive sign to all voluntary carbon market participants. Proposed decisions on paragraph 2 and 4 of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement should bring more credibility and stability to the market. More frequent reviews of the Nationally Determined Contributions can also fuel decarbonization ambition and generate a higher demand for instruments like carbon credits. Before VCM stakeholders will harvest the fruits of what have been agreed at COP26, everybody needs to revisit the current standards and align their market practices with the Paris Agreement Rulebook.
