The 2019 Climate Change Conference (COP 25) convenes in Madrid, Spain, from 2-13 December 2019. One of the key outcomes expected from this meeting is the conclusion of negotiations for the rules of the Paris Agreement’s Article 6. Work on this article includes internationally transferable mitigation outcomes, a market mechanism, and non-market approaches. Left unfinished at the 2018 Katowice Climate Change Conference, the Article 6 negotiations represent the final part of the Paris Agreement rulebook to complete. Parties are also expected to complete a review of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage associated with Climate Change Impacts. Other key issues include guidance to the Global Environment Fund and the Green Climate Fund.
