Pakistan KP parliamentary dialogue pushes for carbon markets governance and legislative roadmap

Transparency International Pakistan and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Assembly held a consultation in Peshawar to improve carbon market governance. TI Pakistan presented a legislative roadmap with four priority areas: a comprehensive Carbon Markets Framework Act, clear rules on carbon credit ownership and ITMOs, a national MRV system aligned with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and mandatory benefit-sharing with community safeguards including FPIC. The meeting signals growing provincial-level engagement in Pakistan on carbon market readiness. The proposed legal and institutional reforms aim to create a transparent and credible framework for carbon trading. Key details on timelines or specific enforcement mechanisms were not disclosed, but the roadmap provides a starting point for legislative action.
