All LUF Projects must follow the Gold Standard for the Global Goals Principles and Requirements, the Stakeholder Consultation and Engagement Requirements, the Safeguarding Principles & Requirements and the Gender Policy.
All LUF Projects must also follow the Land-use & Forests Activity Requirements.
Each project goes through a process that we refer to as the “GS project cycle.” Please refer to the diagram under 5.1.2 for a complete description of the GS project cycle.
New GS project development elements include, but are not limited to, project design, Stakeholder consultation, a preliminary review period and Validation and Verification Body (VVB) validation.
All Standard documents, including Template reporting documents, can be found on the GS4GG document website.
