This short study reflects on COP27 outcomes, both on the technical negotiations on Article 6 and CDM transition, as well as action-oriented initiatives through the lens of African priorities. Finally, the study discusses remaining work for the operationalisation of carbon market mechanisms under the Paris Agreement in light of African priorities, as well as practical developments in carbon markets in Africa.
