A fully operational Article 6 offers countries a powerful tool to scale up mitigation efforts to achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). If implemented right, Article 6 will help channel much-needed climate finance – both public and private - to developing countries, enabling meaningful investments in mitigation activities. That said, the process does not end here. While there will be no further Article 6 negotiations until 2028, significant work lies ahead for the Article 6.4 Supervisory Body in 2025. They will now start to consider, and – hopefully soon - approve the first methodologies accepted under Article 6.4. They will also address critical technical rules that will shape the scope and feasibility of investments in various sectors. Key issues, such as the inclusion of jurisdictional REDD+, baseline-setting, and post-credit monitoring timelines, will be central to their discussions. While Article 6 negotiators will not meet in Bonn in June 2025, they will meet again at COP30 in Belém, as the Supervisory Body will report on its work in 20251, potentially accompanied by further guidance from countries (CMA) to refine the framework.
