Article 6.4 / PACM — Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism
Under the Paris Agreement, Article 6.4 — supervised by the UNFCCC — establishes a centralized international carbon crediting framework. SSTC provides dedicated Article 6.4 / PACM project advisory, from eligibility and PDD development through registration to issuance readiness.
Our role: Under the EU framework, actual emissions data used by importers must be verified by independent accredited verifiers. SSTC's role is advisory and verification-readiness support — monitoring plans, data systems, evidence and preparation — not independent third-party verification.
