Background

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) invites mitigation activity proponents to express their interest in developing Article 6-aligned mitigation activities in GGGI Member States and Partner Countries.  

This call aims to identify and assess potential mitigation activities that align with the requirements of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and may, in the future, be authorized by the host country governments to generate Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs). 

Selected mitigation activities may receive further support and the opportunity to engage in potential Article 6 transactions with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF), Republic of Korea (ROK).  

To participate, please download the Request for Mitigation Activity (RoMA) template and submit the application form with “[Country Name] RoMA Submission” in the subject line of the email to RoMA.Article6@gggi.org by 31 July 2025, 23:59 KST (UTC+9).  

Objective

Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the ROK MOF, GGGI seeks to identify potential mitigation activities in the blue carbon and marine sector among GGGI Members and Partners.  

Through this EOI, GGGI will: 

– Identify a pipeline of potential Article 6-aligned mitigation activities in the blue carbon and marine sector located in GGGI Member States and Partner Countries. 

– Assess applications against the requirements and ROK MOF criteria to shortlist potential Article 6-aligned mitigation activities for further assessments. 

– Support mitigation activity proponents to align their activities in blue carbon and the marine sector with priority requirements established by international Article 6 guidance.  

Applicants should note that the selection of mitigation activities for pipeline development through this EOI does not guarantee the provision of authorization from the host country with respect to the underlying mitigation outcomes, nor does it guarantee the negotiation and/or conclusion of a Mitigation Outcome Purchase Agreement (MOPA) or upfront investment agreement with ROK MOF. ROK MOF reserves the right to make the decision regarding the mitigation activity(ies) selected based on the technical analysis provided by GGGI.

Selection Criteria

GGGI will conduct a technical assessment of the mitigation activities submitted through this EOI against the requirements outlined in the attached template. Also, the technical assessment will include, but is not limited to: 

– Mitigation activity related to blue carbon or the marine sector. 

– Activity located in a GGGI Member State or Partner Country (the list of all GGGI Member States and Partner Countries can be retrieved here). 

– Likelihood of the activity being truly additional. 

– Likelihood of producing sustainable development impacts beyond greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation. 

– Relationship of the activity and technology to the host country’s conditional Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and/or country-specific requirements. 

– Feasibility of the mitigation activity, including technical and financial feasibility and sustainability, and the ability and experience of the mitigation activity proponent in implementing and operating the proposed mitigation activity.  

Note that proper local stakeholder involvement in the submitted mitigation activity will be considered an advantage during the technical assessment.  

Selected applicants must be willing to participate in a due diligence assessment in accordance with GGGI’s Rules on Private Sector Engagement and Rules on Integrity Due Diligence.
