JUST ENERGY TRANSITION (JET) FACT SHEET

This page breaks down Article 6 of the Paris Agreement—one of the most complex and crucial components of international climate policy. It governs how countries can trade emission reductions through global carbon markets, a system that allows nations struggling to meet their climate targets to purchase credits from those who have exceeded their pledges. Finalized at COP26 after years of deadlock, these rules have the potential to either accelerate meaningful climate action or allow countries to avoid making deep domestic cuts, making their structure a true make-or-break factor in the fight against global warming.
