The Landscape of Article 6 Implementation

This report provides the most complete and up-to-date overview of the progress made on global Article 6 implementation on a practical level and is the fourth edition of a series of similar studies. The study also reviews the status of Article 6 rules from an implementation perspective, followed by a deep dive on host country frameworks that looks at the level of preparedness of 51 countries to participate in Article 6 cooperation. Finally, the report summaries key facts and figures and offers fact sheets on all relevant Article 6 implementation initiatives.
