Article 6 of the Paris Agreement moves to implementation at
#COP28 and beyond.🤝
Article 6 is not just another clause in an international treaty; it serves as a practical framework for cooperative climate action that has the potential to unlock higher ambition for reducing carbon emissions and adaptation actions, while also bridging the financial gap for developing nations.
However, as we move forward, we must carefully consider how Article 6 deals with carbon "removal" activities, including natural or technological carbon storage. EDF advocates for a high-integrity, inclusive, equitable, and transparent approach to its implementation.
We also stress the need for incorporating robust high-quality natural climate solutions (NCS) at the jurisdictional level that unlock critical finance needed to conserve vital carbon-storing ecosystems like forests and wetlands.
Let's work together to ensure that it serves our climate, nature, and communities effectively. 🌳🌏
