General rules in this regard are stipulated in Article 6(2) of the Paris Agreement but details for this mechanism are to be established yet.

  

 

Paris Agreement, Article 6(2) and (4)

 

Parties shall, where engaging on a voluntary basis in cooperative approaches that involve the use of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes towards nationally determined contributions, promote sustainable development and ensure environmental integrity and transparency, including in governance, and shall apply robust accounting to ensure, inter alia, the avoidance of double counting, consistent with guidance adopted by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Agreement.
