In December 2024, The Nature Conservancy summarised the progress toward finalising Article 6 during COP29 to establish rules for international carbon markets under the Paris Agreement. The guidance details the operationalisation of Articles 6.2 and 6.4 which enable countries to scale up mitigation and mobilise climate finance for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The document highlights tasks for the Article 6.4 Supervisory Body and anticipates future refinements to the framework.
The Nature Conservancy updated its resource on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement following developments before the UN’s COP29 in Baku.

The UK government shared six principles for voluntary carbon and nature markets in November 2024. This policy paper encourages entities to use credits in addition to ambitious actions within value chains and sets out criteria to help identify high-integrity credits. The principles state that corporates should measure and disclose the planned use of credits as part of sustainability reporting and make accurate green claims using appropriate terminology.
Gold Standard’s tracker is intended to enhance the transparency of carbon market regulations, and support governments, project developers, investors, and other market participants in navigating the evolving regulatory landscape. This ongoing project visualises carbon market regulations by country on its map and allows users to explore by country.
