📣 Last week, we hosted an insightful webinar on scaling the market for Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6. Moderated by Lily Ginsberg-Keig, Sebastien Cross was joined by Axel Michaelowa, Senior Founding Partner at Perspectives Climate Group, and Dr. Alexandra Soezer, Director at the Climate Action Center of Excellence (CACE) to discuss the essential elements that could contribute to the integrity and effectiveness of ITMOs. Key topics included: 📃The importance of ratings to assess Article-6 aligned projects and their alignment to the Paris Agreement. 🌐 The challenges and opportunities presented by entering the Article 6 market. With the operationalisation of Article 6 being a key priority for COP29, discussions on delivering Paris-aligned ITMOs are increasingly relevant. Ratings will have a key role to play in holding market participants accountable for delivering tangible climate impacts. 🎥 Watch the full webinar replay here: https://hubs.li/Q02V6xgF0 #Article6 #COP29 #ITMOs #CarbonMarkets #CarbonRatings

🌍 Strategic Collaboration Announcement I am pleased to announce a significant step forward in our commitment to supporting sustainable development and climate action. The Climate Action Center of Excellence (CACE) has entered into a collaboration with #Acquinex S/A, a specialist Managing General Agency (MGA) renowned for its expertise in Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) insurance for small to mid-market deals. This partnership focuses on providing a detailed assessment of Article 6 Letters of Authorizations (LOAs) for projects registered with independent standards. Our joint efforts aim to ensure these projects align seamlessly with a country's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the regulatory frameworks of Article 6, particularly addressing the risk of overselling. Our collaboration involves a rigorous review process to confirm that each LOA meets the explicit authorization requirements as per UNFCCC rules and is enforceable. We have already successfully delivered our first comprehensive assessment for one project and are excited to extend our efforts to more projects in the pipeline. By combining Acquinex's expertise in market-specific insurance solutions with #CACE's dedication to climate action and policy alignment, we are setting a new standard for accountability and support in the transition to a low-carbon economy. Stay tuned as we continue to make strides in enhancing environmental integrity and sustainable development through innovative partnerships. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Partnership #Article6 #UNFCCC #NDC #CACE #Acquinex

Strengthening the Integrity of #CarbonMarkets through Article 6 🌍 Carbon markets play a crucial role in global #climateAction, but without a robust, unified, global framework, their opportunities are being undermined. Our latest white paper, co-authored by Alexandra Soezer, Director of the Climate Action Center of Excellence (CACE), and Daniel Tutu Benefoh, Acting Director at Ghana’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), delves into how the guidance established under Article 6 of the #ParisAgreement is essential for maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of these markets. As the climate crisis deepens, it’s vital that we resist the fragmentation of efforts and instead reinforce a unified, multilateral approach to carbon trading. The paper emphasizes the urgent need for international cooperation to ensure that carbon markets contribute meaningfully to global emission reductions and align with the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement. We invite you to explore this critical analysis and join the conversation on how we can collectively drive impactful and sustainable #climateSolutions. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dbUENXtD #Article6 #GlobalCooperation #ClimateLeadership Daniel Tapia Haro Francisco Rentería Adam Rogers Waleed Al-Okar Selimcan Azizoglu Hussam Othmany
