A new Methodology Tool, developed in collaboration with Climate Solutions Consulting, is being posted for public consultation.

We are pleased to announce the public consultation for the draft Downward Adjustment Factor (DAF) Determination Tool (GS4GG A6 MT400-05).

Gold Standard are inviting stakeholders to provide feedback on GS4GG Paris Agreement Alignment Documentation, which includes the Requirements, Guidance, and FAQs.

Gold Standard has released a Common Practice Analysis Tool for public consultation. This tool is aligned with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Gold Standard presents a draft methodology standard for addressing leakage emissions in GHG accounting methodologies. This document outlines the requirements for identifying and addressing leakage emissions in Gold Standard for Global Goals (GS4GG) approved methodologies.

This Methodology Standard outlines the Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG) requirements for accounting for suppressed demand in methodologies.

The methodology focuses on capturing methane emissions from cattle (produced by enteric fermentation) and converting them on-site into gases with lower Global Warming Potentials (e.g., CO2).

Two public consultation files—one for GHG reduction technologies and one for GHG removal—introduce a comprehensive set of monitoring indicators designed to strengthen the credibility of climate action and improve the transparency of sustainable development claims.

This document details the criteria for establishing baselines within methodologies endorsed by the Gold Standard for Global Goals (GS4GG), thereby ensuring alignment with the Procedure for development, revision, and clarification of methodologies and methodological tools

This methodology outlines a framework for quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions attributable to project activities focused on the production of ammonia with a carbon-intensity that is lower than conventional ammonia

This methodology is designed for projects where vehicle owners modify their transportation behaviours to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

This methodology is applicable to project activities that remove and durably store carbon dioxide (CO₂) via application of a microbial inoculant to existing cropland.

This Activity Module aims to estimate and monitor greenhouse gas emissions from project activities that enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration on agricultural land. 

This document serves as a guide for project developers, coordinating and managing entities (CMEs), and validation and verification bodies (VVBs) on extension of crediting period for forestry and mangrove projects.

Gold Standard, in discussion with the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO), is exploring the potential for dual certification of projects under the Premium Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (Premium T-VER) and Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG).

The methodology focuses on capturing methane emissions from cattle (produced by enteric fermentation) and converting them on-site into gases with lower Global Warming Potentials (e.g., CO2).

This project methodology enables technology-based mitigation of atmospheric warming caused by aircraft contrail cirrus, which are clouds composed of ice crystal hydrometeors that act as short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs).
