Gold Standard Version 2.1
After months of development, we are proud to introduce Gold Standard Version 2.1, which augments and improves Gold Standard Version 2.0. Affording those who employ Version 2.0 additional clarity and flexibility, Version 2.1 incorporates recent decisions of the Gold Standard Technical Advisory Committee, periodic rule updates since the launch of Version 2.0, a new fee structure and feedback from the market. We believe that Version 2.1 is a smart, practical tool that assists the Gold Standard community in furthering the Gold Standard’s mission to create markets for quality greenhouse gas reductions that emphasize sustainable development and minimize negative local impacts.
The GSv2.1 documentation is comprised of:
Gold Standard Toolkit Annexes A-N
Gold Standard Toolkit Annexes O-S
Following launch, Version 2.1 will be available for use immediately and project applicants currently using Version 2.0 may choose to implement part or all of the upgrades available in Version 2.1, including the new Share of Proceeds fee structure.
All projects applying under the regular project cycle and which have not submitted the complete Local Stakeholder Consultation report (Gold Standard Toolkit sections 2.6 & 2.9) and all projects applying under the retroactive project cycle and which have not submitted the complete documentation required for a pre-feasibility assessment (Gold Standard Toolkit, Table 2.9) and paid the pre-feasibility assessment fee by August 1 2009 will be required to employ the entirety of Version 2.1.
