IETA publishes COP30 Policy Paper, Advancing Carbon Markets Implementation at COP30

IETA has published its COP30 Policy Paper, setting out key priorities for advancing international carbon market ambition and implementation in Belém.

Throughout 2025, IETA has actively engaged in shaping the emerging Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM) under Article 6.4 and in scaling up cooperative approaches under Article 6.2. However, implementation progress remains slower than required to meet international targets, underscoring the need for COP30 to advance Article 6 ambition and implementation. 

Our COP30 Policy Paper highlights the key carbon market issues expected to feature in Belém.
