  Delivering on Article 6: Building an integrated emissions trading ecosystem

  Energy Transition/Climate & Sustainability

  What does emissions trading look like now? What interaction—if any—is there between compliance systems and the voluntary market? How will the markets deliver on the promises laid out in Article 6? What, if anything, can we expect from the carbon markets for COP28? What role will carbon project investment play in delivering on needed changes for the delivery of net zero? Is net zero still achievable under current pledges? What needs to accelerate and is there a role for carbon markets in delivering it?
