Linkages between Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and Voluntary Carbon Markets – Nordic Perspectives and Points of Convergence

This paper presents both the opportunities and challenges from the relationship between Article 6 and voluntary carbon markets (VCMs), offering a Nordic perspective on potential pathways to maximise the synergies. It identifies Nordic points of convergence in the quickly evolving field of international carbon markets, focusing on common desired outcomes as well as areas of uncertainty.

This report was prepared by Carbon Limits AS for the Nordic Initiative for Cooperative Approaches (NICA), which was launched in collaboration between Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (Nefco).
