Eastern Africa Alliance on Carbon Markets and Climate Finance

Download

Abstract: The study presents a summary of findings on how member countries of the Eastern African Alliance on Carbon Markets and Climate Finance (EAA) are beginning to enhance their institutional capacity for engaging in Article 6. These emerging institutional structures and associated responsibilities build directly on existing institutional frameworks and capacities established for the CDM and voluntary carbon markets. While EAA member countries have a strong interest in participating in Article 6 related activities, countries firmly understand and expect, though, that these national institutions and capacities originating from the CDM will need to be updated and expanded in order to meet all agreed UNFCCC requirements for participating in Article 6 cooperation.
