National targets

Article 6 cooperation should help to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. To hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, international transfers must be anchored in ambitious, economy-wide nationally determined commitments (Article 2 para. 1(a) of the Paris Agreement).
