In connection with Stockholm +50 – an international meeting on the environment convened by the UN General Assembly – Sweden signed Memorandums of Understanding with Nepal and the Dominican Republic. The agreements lay the groundwork for climate cooperation between the countries under the terms of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

As the rules of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement are being negotiated during the international climate summit COP26 in Glasgow, the Swedish Energy Agency expands its Article 6 cooperation with the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). The expanded cooperation will strengthen Sweden’s efforts to support the reduction of global emissions in compliance with the Paris Agreement.

During COP26 Ghana and Sweden signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Article 6 of the Paris agreement.  

The Swedish Energy Agency (SEA) has partnered with Gold Standard to facilitate the Swedish Government’s acquisition of quality Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, aiming to serve as a model for broader international cooperation in mitigating climate change.

The Swedish Energy Agency (SEA) is seeking to sign mitigation outcome purchase agreement(s) with one or several actors to enable the implementation of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation activities in the Republic of Ghana. For this purpose, a public procurement process is being launched and actors are invited to submit Mitigation Activity Design Documents (MADD), which will be evaluated by the SEA.
