    Conclusions and closing remarks from your instructor

This unit provides a step-by-step overview of the key processes involved in implementing mitigation activities under Article 6.2. It begins with an introduction to the overall activity cycle, followed by guidance on how to prioritize and identify activities aligned with national climate objectives. The unit then explains the process for activity approval and distinguishes it from the separate step of authorizing the use of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs). It covers the validation and verification of mitigation outcomes, the procedures for ITMO authorization, and the application of corresponding adjustments. The unit concludes with a focus on ITMO tracking systems and infrastructure, emphasizing the need for robust national arrangements to ensure transparency, accuracy, and environmental integrity in the implementation of cooperative approaches.
