Lena Koch, Market Development & Innovation at ClimatePartner Impact:   

„I hope to finally see an agreement on Article 6 at COP29. This year, we’ve seen encouraging developments on Article 6.4, particularly with the Supervisory Body’s progress just in time for COP29. It’s crucial that Article 6 becomes operational next year to scale up carbon markets and channel much-needed carbon finance into the Global South.“  

Nirmal Beura, Head of Carbon Project Development at ClimatePartner Impact:   

„I wish to see a strengthened ecosystem in the COP that supports long-term investment into nature-based solution carbon projects. We need to protect and restore landscapes with help of local communities on a scale that can’t come without a big commitment from voluntary and public mechanisms.“ 

Sofia Jonson Veloso, Market Development & Innovation at ClimatePartner Impact:   

„COP29 is a vital platform where governments, NGOs, academia, and the private sector convene for a common goal. It offers an opportunity for genuine dialogue across these sectors. I look forward to seeing actionable outcomes from these dialogues that enable the mobilization of financial resources for meaningful climate action—focused on holistic, people- and nature-centered solutions.“  

Moschda Djalalyar, Team Lead Partnerships and Market Development at ClimatePartner Impact:   

„As the climate crisis intensifies, COP29 represents a critical moment for global carbon markets, with decisions on Article 6 poised to shape both voluntary and compliance markets. This summit aims to turn billions in climate finance into trillions, supporting countries as they transition to low-carbon economies and adapt to the escalating impacts of climate change. The urgency for robust climate finance, strengthened carbon markets, and increased private sector engagement has never been clearer. The climate crisis demands transformational action backed by bold leadership, strong policies, and financial commitments. The cost of inaction is too high—for our planet, our economies, and future generations.“
