Letter of Authorisation for use under Article 6 Template
UPDATE
Gold Standard is updating all existing methodologies to align with the principles of the Paris Agreement (PA). Non-Paris aligned methodologies will be retired, and PA-Aligned versions must be applied for all vintage 2026 issuances. Please read the full update here and associated FAQs.
Gold Standard Methodologies will be revised in accordance with the PA Alignment Schedule and prioritised based on usage. Paris aligned methodologies will be published on our Paris Agreement Alignment Documents page.
To leverage existing assessments, Gold Standard is actively following the UNFCCC process to republish CDM methodologies under Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM). If there are significant delays with PACM publication, Gold Standard will include and update any relevant methodologies within its workplan.
The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency has developed a template Letter of Authorisation for Use of Emissions Reductions under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, which may be used by project developers and host countries. Gold Standard will accept other Letters of Authorisation that comply with its minimum requirements for LoAs, as set out in Annex A to the Product Requirements.
