Paris Agreement Overall Paris Agreement (Legal) Preamble/Objective (Art. 2) Capacity Building (Art. 11), Education, Training and awareness (Art. 12) NDC (Art. 3) Mitigation (Art. 4), Sinks/REDD (Art. 5), Market Mechanism (Art. 6) Transparency (Art. 13) Global Stock take (Art. 14) Adaptation (Art. 7), Loss and Damage (Art. 8) Implementation and compliance (Art. 15) Finance (Art. 9) Organization and administrative (Art. 16-29) Technology (Art. 10) Entry into force (Art. 21)
Long-term Low GHG Emission Strategy Article 4: Mitigation Global Global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions and to undertake rapid reductions Balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century National Each Party shall prepare, communicate and maintain successive nationally determined contributions (NDCs) that it intends to achieve. Parties shall pursue domestic mitigation measures NDCs will represent a progression beyond the Party’s then current NDC Each Party shall communicate a NDC every five years Developed country Parties should continue taking the lead by undertaking economy-wide absolute emission reduction targets. Developing country Parties should continue enhancing their mitigation efforts and are encouraged to move over time towards economy-wide emission reduction or limitation targets. Long-term Low GHG Emission Strategy All Parties should strive to formulate and communicate long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies
Article 6: Market Mechanism Cooperative Approach (Article 6, 2-3) Cooperative approaches that involve the use of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes towards nationally determined contributions and promote sustainable development and ensure environmental integrity and transparency Shall apply robust accounting to ensure the avoidance of double counting consistent with guidance by Meeting of Paris Agreement (CMA) A Mechanism to Mitigation and SD (Article 6, 4-7) A mechanism to contribute to the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and support sustainable development is established under the authority and guidance of the CMA ER from this mechanism will be used to achieve the NDC and shall not be used if that are used by another Party Share of proceeds is used to meet the cost of adaptation A Non-Market Approach (Article 6, 8-9) Promote mitigation and adaptation ambition, enhance public and private participation, and coordination

Panel Discussion on Supporting NDC Implementation Through Market and Non-Market Based Approaches: Carbon Pricing and More (Albert, EMB-DENR, Philippines) “What do you expect market and non-market based approaches to contribute to the NDC implementation.” (Naoki Torii, MOE, Japan) “What do you see the role of JCM in promoting emission reductions overseas and international cooperation, as well as in the context of implementing Japan’s NDC. “ (Mahua Acharya, GGGI) “What will be the relationship between the NDC and Green Growth Policy and how the market and non-market based approaches support for the implementation for both?”
Panel Discussion on Supporting NDC Implementation Through Market and Non-Market Based Approaches: Carbon Pricing and More (Noim Uddin, CPMA) “How do you advise companies (project developers) for the use of market and non-market approaches under the NDC” (Hyungna Oh, Kyung Hee University, Korea) “What will be the implication of Article 6 for Korea, especially for the ETS? (Takashi Hongo, Mitsui Global Strategic Studies Institute) “Could you provide us some example of how companies will take action and change their behavior based on the carbon price and under new market conditions? What will be the challenges and opportunities for them?”
