COP30 policy paper: advancing carbon markets implementation at COP30

IETA's policy paper sets out key issues for carbon markets at COP30, covering implementation challenges under Articles 6.2 and 6.4, early findings from Technical Expert Reviews, and ongoing debates on permanence, authorisation and MCUs. It reviews CDM transition progress, highlights non-negotiated initiatives such as the TFFF, AAA6 and CGCM Shared Principles, and links market alignment to the Baku-to-Belém climate-finance roadmap and the new NCQG.
