Carbon Markets & Article 6: Credits, Projects & Negotiation
Carbon has become a tradable national asset — the countries and companies that understand the rulebook will price it; the ones that don’t will be priced.

Carbon markets are moving from pilot to delivery across Africa and the Gulf, and the sophistication gap between buyers and sellers is where value leaks. This programme builds working literacy across the whole chain: how compliance and voluntary markets differ and interact; Article 6 of the Paris Agreement — cooperative approaches, internationally transferred mitigation outcomes and the integrity rules — explained as a practitioner’s rulebook, not treaty prose; the project cycle from baseline and methodology through validation, verification and issuance; credit quality and the integrity principles that decide price; and the negotiation seat — what host countries, project developers, banks and corporate buyers each need, and where agreements go wrong. Cases draw on African and Gulf projects and national frameworks. For public officials shaping policy and negotiating deals, banks building carbon desks, and operators with projects to develop or emissions to offset.

Frequently asked
Who should attend the carbon markets course?
It is designed for ministry and agency officials in climate, finance and energy, central-bank and commercial-bank teams building carbon and sustainable-finance desks, project developers and operators in energy, mining and land use, and corporate sustainability, treasury, legal and advisory professionals entering the market.
How is Article 6 of the Paris Agreement covered?
As a practitioner’s rulebook, not treaty prose: cooperative approaches, internationally transferred mitigation outcomes and the integrity rules, alongside the project cycle from baseline and methodology through validation, verification and issuance. The negotiation itself is worked from all four seats — host country, developer, financier and buyer — on cases drawn from African and Gulf projects and national frameworks.
Does the course provide legal advice on carbon transactions?
No. This is professional training on the market, the Article 6 rulebook and negotiation practice — it does not constitute legal advice. Institutions should involve their own counsel on specific agreements and transactions.
Is the programme available in French and in-house?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and tailored in-house editions can focus on your country framework or project pipeline. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
