Article 6

Article 6

Article 6 of the Paris Agreement establishes a broad framework for governing cooperation between countries working jointly to meet their nationally determined contribution (NDC) targets. Linking ETSs internationally is one possible form of cooperation. Linking two ETSs can impact the emissions of the participating jurisdictions, as more emissions are reduced in the system with lower abatement costs. Countries may want to reflect these changes in emissions when accounting for their NDC targets.
