The Paris Agreement provides a comprehensive framework for signatory Parties to reach an ambitious commitment to limit the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C, and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C in a cooperative manner. This framework covers a number of instruments including cooperative approaches under the Article 6 which allows for the potential development of international carbon transactions.

The SPAR6C program in Thailand supports the Division of Climate Change and Environment (DCCE) and Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO) with technical assistance and capacity building in the areas of medium- and long-term emissions planning, governance, and mitigation activity development to achieve its market engagement objectives under Article 6 (A6) of the Paris Agreement. 

The program has delivered an Article Readiness and Needs Assessment and analysis on the governance framework. Currently the program is supporting TGO to adapt its registry to be fit-for-purpose for Article 6 activities, is developing an operation manual for A6 activities, analyzes options for the sharing of mitigation outcome, and is developing a capacity building program to be rolled out next year.

Additionally, SPAR6C is conducting a series of studies to help identify potential future projects. These projects will lead to the development of Mitigation Activity Idea Notes (MAINs, sometimes referred to as PINs), and in a next step to the development of Mitigation Activity Design Documents (MADDs).The Paris Agreement provides a comprehensive framework for signatory Parties to reach an ambitious commitment to limit the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C, and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C in a cooperative manner.
