The Global Carbon Market project (GCM) assists public sector decision-makers around the world in implementing and using market-based instruments in their national climate projects and plans such as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Long-Term Strategies (LTS), and climate change policies and legislation. With studies, capacity-building activities and pilot programs, the project also supports the strategic development of new instruments for cooperative approaches under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. It likewise promotes private sector involvement in the development and implementation of market-based solutions and advises both public authorities and private enterprises on the potential benefits of market-based instruments to mitigate climate change. Other project components include the provision of trainings to prepare government representatives in the partner countries for the climate change negotiations and providing support for regional cooperation in the carbon market. The project works with countries in Eastern Africa, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia.
