National arrangements
In their Host Party Participation Requirements Forms, countries outline which types of activities they would consider approving and how their participation relates to sustainable development as well as national and global climate targets.
The UNFCCC’s Article 6 Capacity Building team has put together an explainer to help fill out the form here.
As outlined in countries’ Participation Requirements for the PACM
The Article 6.4 SD Tool aims to ensure that PACM activities "do no harm" and contribute to achieving SDGs. Project proponents are required to identify potential impacts - both positive and negative - and show how social and environmental risks are addressed.
