Article 6 and the Voluntary Carbon Market in Ukraine: Green Recovery and Resilience for Municipalities

Ukraine’s recov­ery offers a unique oppor­tu­ni­ty to dri­ve a low-car­bon trans­for­ma­tion. As the Vol­un­tary Car­bon Mar­ket (VCM) expands and prepa­ra­tions for Arti­cle 6 imple­men­ta­tion advance, car­bon mar­kets are becom­ing vital tools to mobi­lize finance for emis­sion reduc­tion projects and sus­tain­able devel­op­ment.

This inter­ac­tive pan­el will explore how Ukraine and its part­ners are turn­ing this poten­tial into action con­nect­ing VCM ini­tia­tives with Arti­cle 6 mech­a­nisms to sup­port green recov­ery and local resilience. The dis­cus­sion will address prac­ti­cal approach­es, includ­ing con­tri­bu­tion-claim mod­els and off­set­ting, and exam­ine how car­bon mar­kets can com­ple­ment poli­cies such as the future Emis­sions Trad­ing Sys­tem (ETS).

Through case stud­ies and inter­na­tion­al insights, speak­ers will show­case oppor­tu­ni­ties for coop­er­a­tion, invest­ment, and inno­va­tion that accel­er­ate cli­mate action and strength­en munic­i­pal capac­i­ty for a sus­tain­able future.
