The Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG) is a next-generation certification standard developed by the Gold Standard Foundation to ensure that projects deliver verified impacts for both climate security and sustainable development. GS4GG builds on earlier versions of the Gold Standard, expanding its scope to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Gold Standard is a holistic standard that integrates Energy and Waste, Land Use & Forests, and Water to maximize the benefits of each respective scope.
It provides project developers with a tool to ensure that the CDM and deliver credible projects with real sustainable development benefits and, in so doing, confidence to host countries and the public that projects represent new and additional investments in sustainable energy services. Carbon offset projects that satisfy Gold Standard requirements are granted permission to use the Gold Standard brand name and logo, and sell their carbon credits with the Gold Standard label. A firm or organization wishing to register a project with the Gold Standard and obtain GS certification for the project’s carbon credits follows the same steps as for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), but must supply additional information at various stages of the process.
