The Carbon Finance Department (CFD) of GGGI is a global leader in Article 6 international carbon finance technical assistance, running programs since 2019. The department has a core team of 30 staff with a wider group of over 50 working on carbon finance across over 25 countries.
The Carbon Transaction Facility (CTF), GGGI’s programmatic approach to scaling up international carbon trading, was launched in 2024. It encompasses the multi-donor Article 6 Readiness Facility and several Carbon Funds. The Readiness Facility is focused on providing technical assistance to set in place policy and establish the institutional frameworks, increasing readiness for countries to participate in Article 6 trading. Carbon Funds seek to purchase Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) generated from mitigation activities implemented in GGGI Member and Partner host countries.
