The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page.
The Paris Agreement provides a comprehensive framework for signatory Parties to reach an ambitious commitment to limit the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C, and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C in a cooperative manner. This framework covers a number of instruments including cooperative approaches under the Article 6 which allows for the potential development of international carbon transactions.
The Carbon Pricing Unit (CPU) of GGGI is implementing several programs related to scaling up international carbon trading. By opening up these markets and the resultant flow of transactions it is envisaged a robust and reliable global price for carbon can be establish, something many areas of the private sector have long called for as a way to motivate the transformational change needed to achieve the ambitious goals of Paris. GGGI’s Article 6 programs provide technical assistance and capacity building to government counterparts to improve their readiness for Article 6 engagement. They also support the design of projects and policies for pilot transactions and strengthening of institutional frameworks required for their implementation. By early 2024, GGGI’s Carbon Pricing Unit will be delivering its program in over 14 countries, making it a leader in Article 6 technical support and piloting.
As the need for support has accelerated GGGI sought to find the best way to address this increased need. A 2022 survey of GGGI members and partners found that although the vast majority of its members wished to participate in Article 6 markets, they not only felt that they did not have sufficient capacity to do so, but that the bargaining table was uneven: buyers generally having better capacity – more access to information and more support available to them than sellers. To address these issues, GGGI has created the Carbon Transaction Facility (CTF), a collection of funds providing technical assistance and purchasing mitigation outcomes (carbon credits), aligned with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The CTF is expected to be operational with the first tranche of funding by mid-2024.
The Mobilising Article 6 Transaction Structures (MATS) Program supports countries to access carbon finance under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement by facilitating the completion of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcome (ITMO) transactions. In country implementation is ongoing in three countries, with early investigations in a further two countries. Under the MATS Program, GGGI has been offering tailored support to its member and partner countries in scaling up their capacities to participate in and benefit from Article 6.
