For several years the #Article6o4 Supervisory Body has failed to impress Parties with their recommendations for removals rules under the #ParisAgreement’s carbon market mechanism. At #COP29 they were due to try again but the Supervisory Body went rogue!

While States won’t be able to undo this move, they can still partially correct the wrong by giving strong guidance to the #Article6o4 Supervisory Body that ensures further rules are adopted in line with science, human rights, and international law.

#COP29 begins tomorrow in Baku 🇦🇿 & we are already seeing an attempt to weaken effective climate action.

The #Article6o4 Supervisory Body adopted dangerous standards on methodologies & removal activities – now they might be rubber-stamped without any oversight by States.

A 🧵

🕵️‍♀️ While the rules were finalized last year, it seems some countries are determined to try and weaken standards already in #Article6o4.

🤓 Reminder 🤓

#Article6o4 of the Paris Agreement established a new intl. carbon crediting mechanism.

The Article 6.4 mechanism has a Supervisory Body tasked with developing and supervising the requirements and processes needed to operationalize the mechanism.

👀Opening plenary at #COP29, now turning to the opening of the CMA and eyes on whether any State will step up & not allow the "standards" approved by the #Article6o4 Supervisory Body to go through without debate (hint: they should NOT).

#CarbonMarkets at #COP30: What to expect?

While #Article6o4, a carbon market mechanism, isn't taking up as much space as in the past, States might still fall for the #CarbonCasino.

Rich nations & corporations are trying to gamble our lives, rights & the planet’s future away.

⚠️ UNACCEPTABLE: The mandate to the #Article6o4 Supervisory Body was to present recommendations to Parties for their consideration. Not to say “it's done” but “please, let us know what you think of this”.

Now it may be that these are approved on Day 1, with no discussion.
