Ten years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement and with the rules for its Article 6 now in place, the Partnership for Energy Efficiency in Buildings (PEEB) has released a new White Paper under its Climate Finance Incubator (PEEB CFI), highlighting how carbon markets under Article 6 can help close the massive funding gap in the buildings sector.
Investments in energy efficiency reached US$270 billion in 2023, far short of the US$1.3 to 2.1 trillion needed annually by 2035, according to UNEP. In response, the new PEEB White Paper serves as a comprehensive knowledge resource on methodologies, eligibility, and project design under Article 6. It equips policymakers, developers, carbon market experts, and financiers with all the information needed to develop viable, high-integrity building-sector projects that can access carbon crediting and unlock new streams of climate finance.
PEEB’s White Paper was peer-reviewed and validated during a technical session at the UNFCCC June 2025 Climate Meetings (SB62) in Bonn. It is part of a broader knowledge package developed by PEEB, which will soon include a practical handbook to be released in November at COP30 and a series of training sessions in Indonesia, Morocco, and Nigeria.
