Gold Standard for the Global Goals

This document outlines the eligibility requirements for blue carbon and freshwater wetlands activities. It enables eligible activities to undergo design and performance certification, including issuance of Certified Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Impact Statements and Products such as Gold Standard verified emission reductions/removals (GS-VERs).

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.

This Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) Activity Module focuses on zero tillage/no-till practice, an agricultural technique for growing crops or pasture without mechanically disturbing the soil through tillage (including disturbance from non-turning tillage such as rippers and disc harrows).

This module focuses on defining, monitoring, and reporting the improved management of pasture. Although the module was developed for managed pastures in dairy production in Finland, it is applicable regionally in the EU.
