No Net Zero Without Nature
No Net Zero Without Nature
This year, the World Meteorological Society reported that there is an 80% likelihood that we will exceed 1.5°C for at least one of the next five years. We are truly in the eleventh hour. Article 6 can become the lynchpin in the Paris Agreement’s efforts to slow climate change, engage the private sector, and support the Global South. Article 6 must deliver real, additional, and verified emission reductions and removals with the necessary speed and scale. For rainforest nations, Article 6 must become a robust finance tool to support efforts under Article 5.2 to conserve rainforests through the sale of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs).
Join us for a series of topics on Article 6 throughout COP29 presented by Coalition for Rainforest Nations and fellow Global Climate Allies. This series is designed for all people that want a better understanding of the Paris Agreement, climate policy, carbon markets, and sustainable development. Our expert speakers, with years of climate negotiation experience, will provide valuable insights and answer your questions on these critical topics.

THEME DAY: Finance, Investment and Trade
To meet our climate goals, we need to collectively scale up climate finance whilst ‘greening trade’ – promoting environmental goods and low-carbon technologies. This can create sustainable jobs and ensure that Global South countries have access to the investment and technologies needed to implement long-term climate goals.

THEME: Energy / Peace, Relief and Recovery
Energy is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and is a top priority for global climate action. Building on the outcomes of the first Global Stocktake and moving towards implementation, COP29 will provide a space for stakeholders to gather and make collective progress. Climate and peace are deeply inter-connected, as climate events and conflicts can cause human insecurity and forced migration, affecting mostly the vulnerable groups in developing and lower-income countries.
