Session brief:

As global negotiations under the Paris Agreement move toward operationalising Article 6, there is increasing momentum to ensure that cooperative approaches deliver real, measurable, and equitable climate outcomes. For India, Article 6 presents a strategic opportunity to unlock much-needed climate finance, enable technology transfer, and accelerate low-carbon development through market-based mechanisms.

At this critical juncture, India’s engagement with Article 6 must align with its development priorities - particularly the need to finance mitigation in hard-to-abate sectors, support industrial transformation, and enhance market readiness. The evolving global landscape on carbon markets, combined with India’s domestic ambition, calls for a deeper examination of how Article 6.2 and 6.4 can be leveraged to drive climate-aligned industrial growth while ensuring environmental integrity and national ownership.

This event will explore how India can proactively shape its strategy under Article 6 to meet domestic climate goals, mobilise international finance, and strengthen institutional capacity for participation in.
