Sustainable Development impacts under Article 6 

Projects that reduce GHG often have SD impacts – both positive and sometimes negative. Generating positive co-benefits are important for the voluntary market but also have significant potential for SDGs in Paris based market approaches. However, maximising synergies between GHG mitigation and promoting SD has not always realised its full potential. The informed use of SD indicators and safeguards has the potential to improve effective implementation of SD benefits through transparency, identification and efficient quantification.
