Enhance the integrity, credibility and impact of national and international sustainable development goals

Climate pledges across the world need to be turned into action, without delay. The plans of governments to significantly cut emissions and reach global net-zero by 2050 can only be achieved with scaled-up flows of finance.

As compliance and voluntary carbon markets converge, and as the need for sustainable investment grows greater, Gold Standard is working with governments to steer finance towards climate and sustainable development impact through our internationally renowned standard.
