Integrated Assessment for Article 6 (IAA6)

Developing countries face challenges e.g., lack of tools, data or technical capacity in applying Article 6 cooperative approaches strategically for NDC implementation or ambition raising aligned with the long-term goal of the Paris Agreement. To address these challenges, the European Commission, Directorate-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA) has funded the Integrated Assessment for Article Six (IAA6) Project aiming to support developing countries governments in the development and use of a toolbox through a South-South to learning-by-doing approach.

The project is implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme’s Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP-CCC), formerly the UNEP DTU Partnership. UNEP-CCC was established in early 2022 and is a leading international advisory institution on energy, climate and sustainable development. Its work focuses on assisting developing countries and emerging economies to transition towards more low-carbon development paths and supports the integration of climate resilience in national development. UNEP-CCC is actively engaged in implementing UN Environment’s Climate Change Strategy and Energy Programme by delivering technical assistance and analytical work to emerging markets and developing countries in context of the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals.
