Purpose

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.

The UNEP Latin America and the Caribbean Office (LACO), located in Panama City, Panama works closely with the 33 countries of the region and its activities are integrated into the Medium-Term Strategy and the Programme of Work approved by the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA).

One of the most relevant challenges the implementation of the Paris Agreement poses to countries is to count with strong Transparency Frameworks and with the necessary capacities to comply with the climate change commitments assumed at the international level. Carbon markets play a crucial role so that governments and the private sector can fulfill zero emissions or carbon neutrality commitments by 2050, as proposed by the IPCC. Net-zero targets adopted to date cover around 70% of global GHG emissions, but many are not yet supported by the near-term policies and regulations that are necessary to achieve them. Carbon markets can be part of the measures and mechanisms that can contribute to achieve the needed mitigation to achieve these targets.

However, one of the biggest areas of concern related to carbon markets and Article 6 is how to ensure environmental integrity and respect for social
