This webinar was held on 30th of October at 13:00 to 14:30 UK Time (GMT) and featured distinguished experts and representatives from various leading groups and organizations in the field.
The purpose of the Webinar session was (a) to stimulate discussion on the current state of play with Article 6.2 and how different stakeholders are currently accessing it for cooking, and (b) outline the expectations – if Article 6.4 framework is agreed, and its implementation is underway, and how it might change the current dynamics.
The webinar was started by a presentation from our colleague Samir Thapa, Research Associate at MECS Programme who gave an overview and context of MECS preliminary findings. The presentation was followed by a panel discussion moderated by Elisa Derby, Senior Director at Clean Cooking Alliance who introduced our panel of experts. The panel included Dechen Pema Yangki from Bhutan Ministry of Energy, El Hadji Mbaye Diagne from UNFCCC, Mitch Sauers from UpEnergy and James Haselip from United Nations Environment Program – Copenhagen Climate Centre. The panellists shared their views on the status of practise of Article 6.2 clean cooking cooperative approaches, and their challenges and opportunities together with the influence of Article 6.4 Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism based on its current developments and possible future directions to the broader carbon market and cooking transition activities.
