Does Gold Standard allow for its carbon credits to be labelled as authorised and correspondingly adjusted under Article 6?

Yes. In October 2022, Gold Standard introduced new functionality into its Impact Registry, which will enable its carbon credits to be labelled as authorised and correspondingly adjusted under Article 6. This is an important milestone, which will enable project developers, buyers and other users to distinguish Article 6-authorised credits in the registry, as well as underpinning the transparent and robust implementation of Article 6.

This document provides guidance on this Article 6 functionality for account holders and viewers of the Gold Standard Impact Registry.

Note that this new functionality has no direct bearing on use of the registry for VERs that are not authorised for use under Article 6.
