What Gold Standard Carbon Credits requires
Compliance with this node ensures carbon credits adhere to the rigorous Gold Standard for the Global Goals framework. Project validation requires that `project_additionality_verified` is true, demonstrating emission reductions beyond a business-as-usual scenario as guided by the UNFCCC Clean Development Mechanism’s Additionality Tool. Furthermore, each project must deliver a `minimum_sdg_contributions` of three, where `includes_sdg_13_climate_action` is a mandatory component to ensure holistic environmental and social co-benefits. Adherence to Gold Standard Safeguarding Principles is confirmed through mandatory `local_stakeholder_consultation_completed` and an operational `continuous_grievance_mechanism_active`. An `independent_vvb_audit_passed` is compulsory, aligning with ISO 14064-2:2019 specifications for project-level greenhouse gas quantification and monitoring. To meet CORSIA Emissions Unit Eligibility Criteria, a `double_counting_safeguard_active` must be functional, preventing any single credit's duplicative use. Issuance is governed by a `standard_crediting_period_years_max` of five years, necessitating subsequent re-evaluation for continued validity. Systemic integrity requires that `mrv_telemetry_encryption_enabled` protects all monitoring data streams, while secure registry communications must utilize a `registry_api_tls_version_minimum` of 1.2. Lastly, market access and participation are contingent upon a verified `kyc_aml_clearance_for_trading` for all transacting entities, upholding financial probity.
