Gold Standard for the Global Goals is our next-generation standard, designed to accelerate progress toward climate security and sustainable development. The standard enables initiatives to quantify, certify and maximize their impacts toward climate security and the Sustainable Development Goals, while enhanced safeguards, holistic project design, management of trade-offs and local stakeholder engagement ensure Gold Standard continues to deliver the highest levels of environmental and social integrity.

This document provides non-binding default cost of equity for Turkey to demonstrate investment analysis and additionality of project activities. Depending on the sector, project developers can select the relevant benchmark value for their proposed project activity.

This methodology is applicable to activities that reduce or avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ammonia production by replacing fossil-fuel-intensive conventional processes with low-carbon alternatives.

This standard defines how to set a "Crediting Baseline"—the reference level against which emission reductions are measured. The core principle is that baselines shall be set below Business-As-Usual (BAU) levels to encourage increasing ambition over time.

This downloadable excel document provides a list of all the methodologies eligible for certification under Gold Standard for the Global Goals. The document includes all Gold Standard methodologies and eligible CDM methodologies and provides a one-stop-shop for project practitioners assessing which methodology to apply to their project activity.
