The journey toward a net-zero future demands urgent and innovative action. Carbon credits, particularly those from the clean cookstove sector, play a critical role in addressing emissions that cannot yet be eliminated.
The journey toward a net-zero future demands urgent and innovative action. Carbon credits, particularly those from the clean cookstove sector, play a critical role in addressing emissions that cannot yet be eliminated. By supporting high-quality projects, buyers can drive measurable climate impacts while delivering co-benefits that improve lives and protect ecosystems.
The Buyer’s Guide to High-Quality Cookstove Carbon Credits was created to empower buyers with the tools and insights they need to responsibly engage in the cookstove carbon market. It recognises that buyers vary widely in their experience and capacity, from seasoned organizations with established practices to organizations that are taking their first steps into this space. The guidance within reflects best practices, emerging standards, and the collective wisdom of market leaders, while remaining accessible to buyers at every stage of their journey.
As the originators of the first clean cooking methodology over a decade ago, Gold Standard is clear that clean cooking cannot scale quickly without carbon finance. Empowering more support for high-quality, impactful projects is essential to reduce emissions, protect nature and move towards a world where everyone can thrive.
