COP29 担任主席国打破长期多边谈判僵局
将提供高质量和透明的碳市场，各国和企业可以通过这些市场共同努力实现其气候目标
第 6 条每年可节省多达 2500 亿美元用于实施国家气候计划
11 月 23 日，巴库： 今天，COP29 主席国宣布结束长达十年的等待，以结束根据《巴黎协定》第 6 条结束高度完整的碳市场谈判。这是主席国今年的首要任务之一，它通过密集的双轨技术和政治谈判推动缔约方实现这一里程碑式的成就。这一战略打破了多年的僵局，敲定了《巴黎协定》中最后一个未完成的项目。
第 6 条为各国合作实现其气候目标提供了可信和透明的碳市场。这种跨境合作预计将使各国实施国家气候计划 （NDC） 的成本每年降低高达 2500 亿美元。
COP29 担任主席国鼓励缔约方将这些节省的资金再投资于更大的气候雄心。将于 2 月发布的下一代 NDC 是世界实现 1.5 摄氏度的希望的成败。今天的里程碑正好及时达到，以帮助各国在其气候计划中承诺更加雄心勃勃。
“我们结束了长达十年的等待，并解锁了一个保持 1.5 摄氏度的关键工具，”COP29 主席穆赫塔尔·巴巴耶夫 （Mukhtar Babayev） 说。“气候变化是一项跨国挑战，第 6 条将使跨国解决方案成为可能。因为大气层不在乎在哪里减少排放。
COP29 首席谈判代表 Yalchin Rafiyev 评论道：“今天，我们解决了气候外交中最复杂和技术性的挑战之一。第 6 条很难理解，但它的影响在我们的日常生活中将是显而易见的。这意味着燃煤电厂退役，建造风电场，种植森林。这意味着对发展中国家的新一轮投资。
今天的结果来之不易。虽然格拉斯哥和沙姆沙伊赫缔约方会议能够为碳市场制定重要的规则、模式和程序，但第 6 条的最终组成部分仍未解决。在 COP29 之前，这些谈判已经停滞不前，导致这一加强国际气候合作的途径的全面运作出现代价高昂的延迟。
COP29 主席国采用了一种专门的方法，打破了之前的多边僵局。在这一年中，主席国促进了各缔约方之间富有成效的交往，并通过连接技术和政治讨论以达成共识来推动进展。这为在 COP29 的第一天就尽早采用第 6.4 条标准奠定了基础，这反过来又为今天的突破奠定了动力。
COP29 主席国感激地感谢许多个人和组织，他们近十年来为取得这一成就而不懈努力。如果没有他们通过多年的努力取得的进展，今天的共识是不可能的。
今天一致通过的关于第 6 条的决定将通过真实、额外、可验证和可衡量的减排和清除，在确保碳市场的环境完整性、透明度和稳健性方面发挥关键作用，同时释放其推动全球气候投资的巨大潜力。
所采用的指导方针和规则旨在确保碳项目保持实用性和包容性，尊重人权并为可持续发展提供支持，使各国和项目开发商能够在《巴黎协定》下放心地合作。这些决定的采用并不意味着它们演变的结束。缔约方可以边做边学地不断调整第 6 条规则手册。
COP29 Presidency breaks through longstanding multilateral negotiations stalemate
Will provide for high-quality and transparent carbon markets through which countries and companies can work together to meet their climate goals
Article 6 can save as much as $250 billion per year in implementation of national climate plans
November 23, Baku: Today, the COP29 Presidency announced the end of the decade-long wait for the conclusion of negotiations on high integrity carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. This was one of the Presidency’s top priorities for the year and it drove Parties towards this milestone achievement through intensive dual-track technical and political negotiations. This strategy broke through years of stalemate and finalises the last outstanding item in the Paris Agreement.
Article 6 provides trusted and transparent carbon markets for countries as they collaborate to reach their climate goals. This cross-border cooperation is expected to reduce the cost of implementing countries’ national climate plans (NDCs) by up to $250 billion per year.
The COP29 Presidency encourages Parties to reinvest these savings in even greater climate ambition. The next generation of NDCs, due in February, are make-or-break for the world’s hopes of keeping 1.5 degrees within reach. Today’s milestone has been reached just in time to aid countries in committing to more ambition in their climate plans.
“We have ended a decade-long wait and unlocked a critical tool for keeping 1.5 degrees in reach,” said COP29 President Mukhtar Babayev. “Climate change is a transnational challenge and Article 6 will enable transnational solutions. Because the atmosphere does not care where emissions savings are made.”
COP29 Lead Negotiator Yalchin Rafiyev commented, “Today, we have unlocked one of the most complex and technical challenges in climate diplomacy. Article 6 is hard to understand, but its impacts will be clear in our everyday lives. It means coal plants decommissioned, wind farms built and forests planted. It means a new wave of investment in the developing world.”
Today’s outcome was hard-won. While the Glasgow and Sharm El-Sheikh COPs were able to establish important rules, modalities and procedures for carbon markets, the final building blocks of Article 6 remained unresolved. Prior to COP29, these negotiations had stalled, resulting in a costly delay in the full functioning of this pathway to greater international climate collaboration.
The COP29 Presidency employed a dedicated approach that unlocked previous multilateral stalemates. Throughout the year, the Presidency fostered productive engagement between Parties and drove progress by bridging the technical and political discussions to create consensus. This set the ground for early adoption of Article 6.4 standards on day one of COP29, which in turn built momentum towards today’s breakthrough.
The COP29 Presidency acknowledges with gratitude the many individuals and organisations that have been working tirelessly for nearly a decade to reach this achievement. Today’s consensus would not have been possible without the progress they achieved through their years of efforts.
The decisions unanimously adopted today on Article 6 will play a pivotal role in ensuring environmental integrity, transparency and robustness of carbon markets through real, additional, verified and measurable emission reductions and removals, while also unleashing their enormous potential to drive global climate investment.
The guidelines and rules adopted are designed to ensure that carbon projects maintain practicality and inclusivity, respect human rights and provide support to sustainable development, enabling countries and project developers to cooperate under the Paris Agreement with confidence. The adoption of these decisions does not mark the end of their evolution. The Parties can continually adjust the Article 6 rulebook as they learn by doing.
