COP26 and the Importance of Article 6: Implications for Southeast Asia

Abstract

Southeast Asia is one of the world’s most vulnerable regions to climate change. Since the last international climate conference held in Madrid two years ago, the region has made significant progress in charting out its transition plan towards a low carbon future. This policy brief explores Southeast Asia’s approach to the upcoming Glasgow COP26 climate conference, and identifies the key elements that will need to be finalised in order for countries in the region to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
