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.
