Targets
With regard to mitigation, the non-AFAT target increases from 17% (CDN 2.0) to 20% in the conditional scenario, thanks to updated inventories and improved data quality.
Article 6 engagement
The Republic of Guinea affirms its intention to participate in the international cooperation mechanisms provided for in Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Priority sectors for this commitment include renewable energy, industrial processes and waste management, where transparent monitoring and reporting systems are being developed to ensure environmental integrity.
Guinea is working to put in place the necessary institutional arrangements, including a national registry and an authorisation framework, in line with international guidance on corresponding adjustments. Guinea will continue to explore market-based (Articles 6.2 and 6.4) and non-market-based (Article 6.8) approaches to support its national climate objectives.
Moreover, Guinea will mobilise carbon financing mechanisms (voluntary market and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement) to generate additional revenue from mangrove restoration (blue carbon), reforestation and agroforestry, with certification according to international standards
