The research project explores how carbon market approaches under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement can contribute to the transformational change required by these global agreements. The project names insights and recommendations for how to design and implement Article 6 rules and activities to promote transformational change through carbon markets. In this regard a definition of transformational change suitable for Article 6 was proposed, Article 6 piloting projects were analysed and an incentive structure to increase ambition through Article 6 was designed.
