The Gold Standard Marketplace

Supporting climate action and sustainable development

Purchasing Carbon Credits Gold Standard-certified carbon credits fund climate protection projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions AND create sustainable development benefits for the communities that need it most. Each Gold Standard project has a verified contribution to at least three of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.

We all have an impact on the planet – businesses, governments, individuals – and we can all play a part on the journey towards a more sustainable world. Proceeds from carbon credit purchases go to project developers, enabling them to maintain and expand their projects and deliver more impact.
