The Urban Article 6 Project is aiming to develop two (2) pilot projects in Indonesia that would be "ready to generate" carbon credit under the mechanism of Article 6.2 of Paris Agreement which has been ratified by the Indonesian Government (Law No. 16/2016) and the Presidential Regulation No. 98/2021 on Carbon Pricing (Nilai Ekonomi Karbon) in achieving the NDC targets. The project envisions that the Article 6.2 of Paris Agreement that has been translated into Presidential Regulation 98/2021 and various technical regulations issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry can be used to mobilize financial flow for the implementation of sub-national climate action. Therefore, the main policy priorities of this project are: 

  1. Preparation/implementation of activities that can support the achievement of NDC at sub-national level through the carbon pricing mechanism (Article 6.2 of Paris Agreement)  
  2. Policy on the implementation of Article 6.2/carbon pricing per the Presidential Regulation 98/2021 at sub-national level
