Article 6 is a key part of the Paris Agreement on climate change and, arguably, one of the pact’s most complex sections. 

It focuses on the development of carbon markets, places where countries, companies and individuals can trade what are known as greenhouse gas emissions credits. 

The article is seen as crucial to limiting global warming to 1.5°C, one of the key aims of the landmark Paris Agreement. 

But what exactly does Article 6 say, and how is it helping to counter the deepening climate crisis? UNEP’s Pooja Munshi dives into the details in this video.
