ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Climate Change, Dr. Musadik Malik, met with a delegation from SPAR6C (Supporting Preparedness for Article 6 Cooperation) on Tuesday to advance Pakistan’s engagement in global carbon markets under the Paris Agreement.
SPAR6C is a five-year international initiative (2022–2027) led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), assisting countries like Pakistan, Colombia, Thailand, and Zambia in building capacity for Article 6 cooperation.
The meeting focused on enhancing Pakistan’s readiness for carbon market mechanisms, particularly through the student sponsorship programme. Both sides reviewed ongoing support for Pakistani students involved in Article 6-related training and research, and discussed how their expertise could be aligned with national carbon trading strategies.
