Just cooking transitions and Paris Agreement Article 6

<p dir="ltr">This briefing note is an attempt to relate the developments in Paris Agreement (PA) Article 6.4 Crediting Mechanism provisions with the just transition considerations in the clean and modern cooking space. In this, firstly, the different related tenets of energy justice are defined with examples of injustice and considerations that could address such injustices. Secondly, related Article 6.4 provisions and carbon market practices are analysed to explain existing provisions as well as recommend possible opportunities to enhance these identified justice considerations. Article 6.4 provisions are analysed as it seeks to develop reference conditions that are aligned with the Paris Agreement goals linked to Nationally Determined Conditions (NDCs), Long Term – Low Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) and host party and internationally recognised Safeguards and Sustainable Development priorities.</p>
