Chile has approved a list of priority and contraindicated mitigation activity types for the generation and authorisation of carbon credits under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, marking another step in the country's ambition to become a frontrunner in this international market.

Article 6 eyes Lahore – Stakeholders gathered in Lahore in February to consult on a methane capture project at the Lakhodair landfill that aims to generate carbon credits under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement. The landfill, operational since 2016, receives up to 5,500 tonnes of municipal solid waste per day and has accumulated an estimated 18 mln tonnes of waste. The proposed landfill gas collection and utilisation system would convert captured methane into usable energy products while generating mitigation outcomes. The project is being developed under the Germany-backed SPAR6C programme, which aims to prepare up to three Article 6 pilot projects in Pakistan by 2027. Proposed benefit-sharing measures include local infrastructure improvements, skill development, health initiatives, and formal integration of informal waste workers.

The supply of carbon credits for Phase 1 of the aviation offsetting scheme CORSIA reached more than 32 million as of early March, according to a new International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) dashboard that tracks eligible credits, while prices have slipped to their lowest levels in over a year.

A clean cookstove developer is looking to boost the supply of carbon credits into the first phase of the aviation offsetting scheme CORSIA, after being granted the right to sell 5.2 million credits internationally by Nigeria under Article 6 rules, it announced Tuesday.

Bigger picture - Europe should reorient its climate policy from a focus on its own carbon footprint towards catalysing international cooperation, argued three economists from Europe and the US - Christian Gollier, Axel Ockenfels, and Catherine Wolfram - in an article for Le Monde. At a time when European climate strategy has become politically fragile and increasingly hard to defend economically, they say that climate cooperation with global partners can significantly cut the costs of putting national industry at a competitive disadvantage while boosting climate action effects. The EU's carbon border fee is leading countries like the UK, Australia, Canada, and Turkey to price carbon domestically to avoid giving carbon revenues to Europe through their exports.

The Global Carbon Council (GCC) issued around 4.46 million carbon credits in 2025, bringing cumulative issuance under the Qatar-based standard to roughly 13.1 mln credits as the programme expands project registrations and prepares to scale activity this year, according to its latest annual report.

Norway is set to make its biggest emissions reductions in the petroleum and transport sectors by 2030, although the country's overall progress is hard to assess due to lacking data on land use and forestry, according to an expert review of its first Paris Agreement transparency report.

Bhutan plan - Bhutan has launched the Bhutan Resource Mobilization Plan (BRMP) to support sustainable economic growth and climate-resilient development, backed by the Climate Vulnerable Forum and V20 Finance Ministers (CVF-V20). Finance Minister H.E. Lyonpo Lekey Dorji said the plan aims to align financing with Bhutan’s key national frameworks and ensure adequate, predictable, and sustainable funding to achieve the country’s long-term economic goals. The BRMP will also function as Bhutan’s Climate Prosperity Plan under the CVF-V20, part of a broader initiative aimed at helping climate-vulnerable countries turn climate risks into bankable investment opportunities aligned with development, climate, and nature goals.
