An opinion piece in ThePrint argues India should turn the BRICS Carbon Markets Partnership into a practical platform for Article 6.2 cooperation. The author says the New Delhi Declaration's language on carbon markets is useful, but real leverage comes from building registries, MRV standards, and verification systems that make cross-border carbon trades credible. The article suggests India could host a permanent BRICS technical group focused on carbon market infrastructure. That group would develop common registry principles, reporting templates, and verification rules, without forcing one unified carbon market. It would also help smaller developing countries build the capacity to issue and sell credits, and create an export market for Indian carbon accounting, auditing, and registry technology. For readers tracking carbon markets or climate finance, the piece is a clear look at how Article 6.2 could become a strategic tool for the Global South. It also frames India's position on CBAM less as a complaint and more as a reason to build credible emissions data.
