As part of the work on promoting available tools to develop the capacity of countries to act under Article 6 and Article 13 of the Paris Agreement, the team of the Regional Climate Action Transparency Hub (ReCATH) of Central Asia is working on the translation and adaptation of the methodology into Russian developed by the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT). To help participants better understand the guidelines an online workshop   is planned for a wide range of participants. The event is scheduled for September 19, 2024 at 15:00 Almaty time in online format.

The ICAT Guide offers a comprehensive framework to help countries navigate the reporting and accounting requirements for participating in cooperative approaches under Article 6, ensuring environmental integrity and alignment with global climate goals, as well as how countries can integrate Article 6 activities into their national transparency frameworks and international reporting obligations, fostering stronger participation in global climate actions.

The event will be conducted in Russian and is relevant for policymakers, experts involved in developing national climate policies and emission trading systems, as well as academics.

Main topics of the workshop:

• Options for international cooperation in realizing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) through Article 6 activities.
• The conditions for engaging in different types of Article 6 activities, policy considerations, and the associated benefits and risks.
• The impact of Article 6 participation on national transparency systems, including integration with international reporting systems.
