“Build the future of the global carbon market with us.”

The Paris Agreement carbon market is no longer a negotiating text. It is becoming a real market, and it needs a place where everyone who builds it can meet. That is why we are launching Article 6 Network, and our launch campaign comes down to three words.

Together. Article 6 is not one developer running one project in one region. It is not voluntary offsetting, and it is not a patchwork of standards. It is one system, the Paris Agreement carbon market, built on one framework, Article 6, under one rulebook, the Paris Agreement.

No one can issue an Article 6 credit alone. Every unit needs the whole chain to work:

  • International: UN rules, the Supervisory Body and registries
  • National: a host country that authorises the transfer and applies a corresponding adjustment
  • Project: a developer, a methodology and finance that meet both

Buyers, banks and developers need to understand that system now. Article 6 Network is where we work on it together.

Today. The market is being shaped right now:

  • 130 countries have designated Article 6 Authorities and are ready to develop, issue and trade.
  • Carbon Pulse has published 1,664 Article 6 headlines since January 2025.
  • The UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre's Article 6 Pipeline holds more than 5,500 data points.
  • 12,092 companies have SBTi-validated targets, and each is a potential buyer, developer or investor.
  • The Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism has approved its first issuances, and the first large sovereign deals are expected at COP31.

The rules, registries, prices and first deals being set in this cycle will define the market for decades. Turn your FOMO into concrete action with us :)

Tomorrow. This is the world's only globally compliant carbon market, and policy is moving towards it:

  • Aviation: CORSIA requires authorised, adjusted units.
  • EU: member states have agreed a role for international Article 6 credits in the 2040 climate target.
  • Singapore: companies can use eligible international credits for up to 5% of their carbon tax.
  • Sovereign buyers: Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Korea and others are already buying.

Demand is forecast to grow from more than 0.7 Gt a year by 2030 to 7.2 Gt by 2050. Those who join now gain the knowledge, the relationships and a voice in the rules before the market scales.

Build the future of the global carbon market with us.
