Sustainable Development Goals
We are fast approaching a tipping point for global temperature rise, highlighting the need for climate pledges to be turned into action, with growing ambition. The plans of governments across the world to significantly cut emissions and reach 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 across the world to steer finance towards climate and sustainable development impact through our internationally renowned standard.
Gold Standard for the Global Goals is being applied by governments to deliver national climate objectives through carbon markets and other financial mechanisms, to certify climate impacts under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
