This project aimed to deliver a contribution to the discussions about Article 6 of the Paris Agreement under the UNFCCC. The report is intended to show the interrelationships and backgrounds in individual questions concerning the design of cooperative approaches under Article 6 and thus contributes to informed decision-making. Selected design options are elaborated and presented by the authors as examples. This report does not represent a position of the German government. The responsibility for the content of this publication lies with the authors.

Dieses Projekt hatte zum Ziel einen Beitrag zu den Diskussionen um Artikel 6 des Pariser Abkommens unter der Klimarahmenkonvention der Vereinten Nationen beizusteuern. Der Bericht zielt darauf ab die Zusammenhänge und Hintergründe in einzelnen Fragestellungen zur Ausgestaltung von kooperativen Ansätzen unter Artikel 6 aufzuzeigen und so zu fundierten Entscheidungen beizutragen. Ausgewählte Gestaltungsoptionen werden von den Autorinnen und Autoren exemplarisch herausgearbeitet und vorgestellt. Diese Veröffentlichung stellt keine Position der deutschen Bundesregierung dar. Die Verantwortung für den Inhalt dieser Veröffentlichung liegt bei den Autorinnen und Autoren.

This study assesses whether existing international carbon market methodologies for determination of additionality and baselines and monitoring, particularly those from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), can be adjusted to transition to the Article 6.4 mechanism. We highlight the necessity of drawing from the experiences of the Kyoto Protocol. CDM methodologies need to be modified to align with the more rigorous requirements of Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement. Reaching consensus among Article 6.4 Supervisory Body (SB) members on developing a methodology guidance has been challenging and shows that there is a wide range of interpretation of the Article 6.4 methodology requirements. On this basis, we discuss different options to operationalise the Article 6.4 methodology requirements and focus on the option to develop overarching methodological tools that can be applied to make CDM methodologies "Article 6.4 proof". We illustrate this approach by applying it to two CDM methodologies, ACM0005 ("Increasing the blend in cement production") and ACM0006 ("Electricity and heat generation from biomass"). For these methodologies, we propose specific adjustments to ensure alignment with Article 6.4 requirements, particularly regarding additionality determination, avoidance of lock-in of emissions, quantification of emission reductions and monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV).
