Credible Climate Action
The Project Developer Forum (PD Forum) is the collective voice for companies and practitioners financing and developing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and removal projects globally.
Welcome
Our members bring deep technical knowledge and extensive experience across global CO2 mitigation instruments, from the UNFCCC’s flexibility mechanisms and voluntary standards to climate finance and country-specific initiatives. This expertise positions the PD Forum as an essential platform for shaping the future of climate policy.
Drawing on this long-term perspective, we analyse emerging rules under the Paris Agreement’s Article 6, providing critical insights into how these sustainable development mechanisms align with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Voluntary Carbon Markets.
