Gold Standard will be at COP30 contributing to vital discussions, strengthening important partnerships, and highlighting how Gold Standard’s approach and offerings can drive real impact. To transform ambition into real impact - for people, nature and the planet.
Gold Standard is defining the next generation of carbon markets by leading the transition to Paris Agreement–aligned methodologies - a vital update to ensure our standard remains best practice. This is a follow up to our commitment made in 2021. The change is essential: as markets evolve under Article 6 and new regulations take hold within countries around the world, alignment protects projects, buyers, and the long-term confidence in Gold Standard credits.
This year at COP, our prioritises are to:
- Contribute to needle-moving discussions on the implementation of the Paris Agreement and alignment across carbon markets.
- Strengthen our partnerships with governments, project developers, and corporate climate leaders.
- Highlight our methodologies and projects that achieve measurable impact for climate and sustainable development.
- Showcase how Gold Standard’s approach connects integrity, innovation, and collaboration to drive real results.
At Climate Week New York, our CEO Margaret Kim shared her hopes for COP30 in Brazil: "We need a strong signal to raise global ambition in NDCs. And we must move from great pledges to real implementation, turning commitments into climate interventions that deliver for people and nature."
Margaret Kim, CEO and Hugh Salway, Principal, Markets will be in Belém from 10-14 November. If you would like to request an onsite meeting, please send your request to [email protected].
