India Carbon Market Coalition Launches Article 6 Trading Platform

India’s carbon market coalition on Fridayintroduced the Article 6 Carbon Bazaar, a new industry platform designed to support market participants in accessing international carbon-credit mechanisms established under the Paris Agreement.

The platform is centred on Article 6, the Paris Agreement chapter governing cross-border carbon credit transfers and cooperative approaches between national governments. No details on founding membership, technical infrastructure, or planned transaction capacity were included in the available reporting.

Carbon Market Context

  • Article 6 of the Paris Agreement has been a persistent focal point of multilateral climate diplomacy. The UN Climate Action Summit was a key forum at which governments set out national positions on international carbon-market cooperation, contributing to the diplomatic groundwork on which cross-border Article 6 mechanisms now rest.
  • High-level bilateral climate engagement — illustrated by ministerial-level EU-China meetings convened at the UN Climate Action Summit — reflects the inter-governmental architecture underpinning Article 6 market mechanisms, the same architecture that new industry-led platforms such as this one seek to operationalise for commercial participants.
