Article 6.4 Non-Permanence Standard: Progress or Confusion? - with Olga Gassan-zade


Listen Later

What does the new Article 6.4 Standard on Non-Permanence and Reversals mean for carbon removal projects?


It has just been adopted by the Supervisory Body after lengthy deliberations and a huge inflow of stakeholder comments.


The new standard remains controversial. Some stakeholders welcome the adopted standard, given its improvements compared to the draft versions. Others highlight the negative impacts on the carbon markets due to pushing decisions on key elements (like the percentage of negligible risk and post-crediting monitoring period) down to the methodology level. 


How will the new standard impact carbon removal project development and the approval process?


We’re excited to welcome Olga Gassan‑zade, a member of the Article 6.4 Supervisory Body, to share personal views on these developments and explore what they mean for carbon removal projects and stakeholders worldwide.


Join co‑host Eve Tamme for this deep‑dive on permanence, governance, and the future of carbon removal under the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism.
