130 organisations call for suspension of Myanmar cookstove Article 6.4 credits
An open letter signed by 130 civil society organisations has called on the Article 6.4 Supervisory Body to suspend the first carbon credits issued under the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism. The credits originate from a cookstove programme in Myanmar, which received approval for Article 6.4 credit issuance in February 2026. Critics allege the project operates in a conflict zone with human rights abuses and that independent analyses by Carbon Market Watch indicate significant over-crediting, by a factor of 14 under CDM and seven under Article 6.4. The organisations urge an independent assessment of the programme, citing concerns over its social and political context and the integrity of its emissions reductions claims.
