Its mission is to build a liquid, high-integrity Paris Agreement carbon market that channels private capital into national climate goals. It works through four lines of work: Educate (the Article 6 Academy), Advocate (policy), Publish (Article 6 News, the Article 6 Radar and The State of the Article 6 Carbon Market) and Connect (the Article 6 Summit in Bonn and COP events).

The 2027 programme includes launching the Global Survey, holding the first Article 6 Summit in Bonn on Friday 11 June 2027 and publishing the second edition of the annual report at COP32 in Ethiopia. These roles make that programme happen.
