In 2022, Gold Standard was selected by the Environment and Climate Change Canada to support Pacific Alliance (PA) countries in Latin America, including Chile, Colombia, Peru, Mexico and Ecuador, to improve access to public and private climate finance for climate action including through international carbon markets.
Under this four-year project (2022-2026), Gold Standard is supporting the strengthening of national climate measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems to ensure transparent, accurate, and comparable emissions data for tracking progress towards the goals of the Paris Agreement. This can help attract investment from existing and new sources of sustainable finance to accelerate that progress while directly benefiting those most affected by the climate emergency.
