Advancing Article 6 of the Paris Agreement:
Second Advisory Group Meeting in Tokyo
The Paris Agreement Article 6 Implementation Partnership (A6IP) Center, with IGES as its secretariat, held its second Advisory Group Meeting in Tokyo on 11-12 March 2025, bringing together around 90 participants from governments, organisations and the private sector. This first meeting since Article 6 became fully operational provided a platform to exchange updates, best practices and challenges in implementing Article 6 mechanisms, including independent crediting approaches. Key topics included the global status of Article 6 projects, success stories from emission reduction initiatives in India, Ghana and Thailand, the promotion of high-integrity carbon markets, and capacity-building efforts. The A6IP Center also introduced its FY2025 activities and its Mid-term & Long-term Plan through 2050, highlighting the importance of international collaboration and partnerships in achieving climate goals.

"Building Disaster-Resilient Communities - Lessons from Noto, Tohoku, and the World on Disaster Prevention and Resilience" (20 March)

Last year, the Noto Peninsula experienced disasters caused by earthquakes and heavy rainfall, significantly impacting the region’s infrastructure and natural environment, as well as the traditional way of life and culture, which has been maintained in harmony with the natural environment. This online symposium explored some of the regional activities that are being undertaken on recovery and disaster preparedness for resilient communities.
