Gold Standard uses the power of financial markets to deliver support to the most vulnerable. We set standards and design methodologies, to credibly measure the impact of projects aimed at combating climate change and delivering sustainable development. Our focus is on impact rather than a specific mechanism, meaning our standard can support the issuance of carbon credits and other financial tools.
