Discussion Questions for Articles 5 and 6.2
This discussion slide helps readers think through how REDD+ can meet the key Article 6.2 requirements in order to use Internationally-Transferred Mitigation Outcomes. It draws attention to the areas where REDD+ will need to meet Article 6.2 requirements in a manner likely more detailed than the Warsaw Framework for REDD+. The slide encourages readers to think about how they can meet these requirements domestically, through agreeing on an approach with a partner country, etc.
International Mitigation Partnerships for Forests
In this report, Climate Advisers suggests policy structures to leverage Article 6 and natural climate solutions through international cooperation between two or more countries. We provide a guide for designing cooperative approaches through International Mitigation Partnerships using forests as an example.
How Contingent International Contributions (CICs) Can Enhance Climate Ambition
In this report, Climate Advisers introduces the concept of a Contingent International Commitment (CIC), explains the benefits, and shows how countries could make use of CICs to enhance their emissions reduction targets and help bridge the “ambition gap” in the next round of updated Nationally Determined Contributions, due in 2020.
