Gold Standard

Consultation

Climate adaptation requirements

  • Consultation Period 25 Oct 2022 - 25 Nov 2022
  • Submission Deadline 25 Nov 2022
  • Scope Activity Climate Action

Gold Standard has partnered with Resilient Cities Catalyst’s (RCC) to develop a new set of standard requirements aiming to incentivise, identify and value projects or portfolios which support communities to adapt for future climate risks and mobilise investments for such projects. Gold Standard is now inviting views from stakeholders on the new Adaptation Requirements.

Gold Standard have already begun the piloting process on projects using the Adaptation Requirements and are currently welcoming more pilot projects. Outcomes from the public consultation along with learnings from the piloting process will be considered and reviewed to finalise the Requirements. If you have a project that would benefit from the Adaptation Requirements and are interested in putting it forward for piloting, please email Felicity Spors at [email protected].
