What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of seventeen Global Goals and 169 targets agreed on by the UN General Assembly that cover a broad range of sustainable development issues.
Our standard, Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG), certifies the SDG outcomes of projects in order to ensure that climate action is pursued in tandem with sustainable development.
How do Gold Standard projects help achieve the SDGs?
Our standard, Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG), is designed so that each project takes climate action in tandem with sustainable development.
As a part of our certification process, project developers are required to adhere to our ‘do no harm’ principle, consult with local stakeholders, and ensure that their projects not only help protect the climate by contributing to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 - Climate Action - but also benefit local communities by contributing to two additional SDGs. These safeguards and requirements ensure that the project impacts are real, measurable, and verified by an independent third-party.
