NDC Conditionality and Article 6: An Analysis of African Countries’ Updated NDCs

This paper reviews UNFCCC documents, assessments of the first round of NDCs and Art 6 buyer documents to present a clear overview of how the conditionality of NDC targets may influence Article 6 cooperation in the context of Africa. In doing so, the paper proposes a typology for mapping the link between NDC conditionality and Article 6 carbon markets. At the same time, the paper also recognises that Article 6 eligibility cannot be determined based on NDC conditionality alone.

The European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition (ERCST) is an independent think-tank, registered under belgium law, working on European and Global climate change policies.

ERCST is committed to the goals and principles of the Paris Agreement and works towards promoting a just, inclusive and sustainable global transition.

ERCST has always been careful to ensure an inclusive working environment and to be attentive to gender diversity and to the plurality of voices represented in its initiatives. When this is not reflected in one of our publications or events, it is due to the unavailability of the consulted experts to participate, to choices of organizations on their representation or specific representation in the respective organization.
