From March 2023 to June 2023, PITCO conducted a needs and readiness assessment for implementing Article 6 of the Paris Agreement in Pakistan, funded by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). The project aimed to facilitate Pakistan’s readiness to participate in cooperative approaches under Article 6, engaging both government and private sector stakeholders. The assessment focused on developing the international carbon market, enhancing national capacity, and identifying barriers to Article 6 activity participation.
PITCO’s services included working with national government and private sector stakeholders to assess views on Article 6 governance, providing technical support to establish institutional arrangements, and conducting readiness and needs assessments through surveys and consultations. Our team collected information on stakeholders’ knowledge, capacity to evaluate, develop, and implement Article 6 activities, and identified barriers faced. PITCO prepared a comprehensive report on stakeholders’ readiness and needs, participated in validation workshops, and provided recommendations to address capacity gaps and barriers to participation in Article 6 activities.
