POLICY ADVISORY

Policy advisory, alongside business proofing and training, constitutes one of the three complimentary pillars of Classen’s work.

We provide tailored support to governments, organizations, and businesses navigating the complexities of international carbon markets. Our services include assisting clients in aligning their priorities with carbon market requirements, facilitating engagement under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and addressing policy challenges through strategic interventions. 

We offer targeted capacity-building trainings and technical assistance to ensure a smooth and effective journey in the carbon market landscape, ensuring a sound engagement under Article 6.

Our work spans across diverse geographies, including engagements with hosty country governments on the African continent or in Asia. We collaborate closely with initiatives such as the Carbon Action Platform for Africa (CAP-A), contributing to the scoping of carbon market policies and addressing challenges to implementation. 

As part of our roadmap approach, we recognise that the journey towards international carbon market engagement comprises distinct stations, from overarching considerations to concrete policy implementation. This allows us to base our regulatory analysis on tailored evaluation rosters that reflect the carbon market frameworks of target countries.
