Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement enables international cooperation by allowing countries to transfer Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) to support the achievement of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), corporate climate goals, and compliance schemes such as CORSIA. However, the complexity of implementing Article 6.2 has created significant challenges, limiting countries’ ability to operationalize this mechanism effectively. These challenges include developing interoperable national registries, finalizing cooperative approaches, issuing Host Country Letters of Authorization (HCLOAs), managing ITMO tracking and reporting, and ensuring transparency and environmental integrity.

​

To address these gaps, the Global Carbon Council (GCC) has developed a Carbon Market Infrastructure (CMI) and Interoperable National Registry—a ready-to-deploy digital solution designed to support both international and domestic carbon markets. The GCC CMI enables end-to-end market functions, including project registration, credit issuance, ITMO authorization, tracking, and reporting, while ensuring interoperability with global systems.

​

This workshop aims to demonstrate how GCC’s CMI can help countries fast-track Article 6.2 implementation, reduce time and costs, and access global carbon finance, while maintaining full national sovereignty over approvals, authorizations, and reporting processes.
