Article 6 of the Paris Agreement aims at promoting integrated, holistic and balanced approaches that will assist governments in implementing their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) – countries’ national emissions reductions targets – through voluntary international cooperation.
Different countries in Africa are in the process of developing their long-term strategies. In order to demonstrate the benefits of long-term planning and showcase the lessons learned from countries, the GIZ Global Carbon Markets (GCM) Programme in Uganda and Tunisia with support from the Germany Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety in partnership with the Climate Finance Innovators (CFI) Project and the World Bank conducted a webinar during the Innovate4Climate online sessions.
