Integrity, transparency, accountability and inclusivity

After the finalization of the rulebook on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement at COP29 in Baku, international negotiations have shifted from the development of rules towards providing further guidance on implementation. Integrity, transparency, accountability and inclusivity were key areas addressed in decisions on Article 6.4 and Article 6.2. A further milestone was the closure of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) which will cease its operations in a staged approach over the next two years.

Meanwhile, Brazil has proposed a new “Open Coalition” to integrate & harmonize #CarbonMarkets globally—which promises interoperability, ‘high-integrity’ credits & cost-effectiveness—but offers no guarantees that emissions will fall or polluters stop expanding. Not real ambition!
🔑 A key reminder: #CarbonMarkets put #HumanRights at risk and are yet another escape hatch that only delays action to halt planet-warming pollution at its source, thereby deepening climate chaos.
❓ What happened? At the #CarbonMarkets talks, 🇮🇩 intervention consisted of the same talking points as a lobbyist letter calling to weaken #Article6o4 rules, contradicting the science & undermining env. integrity that the 6.4 mechanism is supposed to protect. www.climatechangenews.com/2025/11/11/c...

Carbon market supporters risk cheating the nature they wish to protect

Efforts to dilute Article 6 rules risk turning the new UN carbon market mechanism into a false climate solution that harms both nature and global climate action

#CarbonMarkets put human rights at risk as host communities generally receive very limited consultations and too often lose land, access to food and sacred spaces, and sometimes even face violence at the hands of carbon market program implementers. This pattern repeats itself all over the world!
