Event Summary

Pakistan and Norway signed their first bilateral agreement under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, formally opening Pakistan's access to international carbon markets, climate finance, and investment in low-carbon sectors. Federal Minister Musadik Malik highlighted this as a historic milestone, enabling Pakistan to develop carbon credit projects in areas like clean energy, agriculture, transport, and waste management. These emission reductions, known as Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes, can be transferred to Norway. Norway's Ambassador Per Albert Ilsaas stated that Norway aims to purchase these credits to exceed its climate neutrality goals by 2030, supported by its Global Emission Reduction Initiative with a $1.5 billion budget. The deal is seen as crucial for Pakistan to attract foreign capital amidst increasing climate risks and to strengthen its position in global carbon markets.
