Digital Measurement Reporting Verification Pilot Programme

Programme Brief

Gold Standard launches a new pilot programme that will integrate digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) solutions into its certification framework. Running until October 2026, it will assess the potential of digital technologies to enhance the accuracy, transparency, and efficiency of monitoring and reporting for carbon credits and verified impacts under Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG). Following the launch of a new digital SDG tool in May 2024, this marks the next step towards an integrated end-to-end digital system for the standard.
