Climate action for
People and nature
– A Gold Standard Conference
On 5 and 6 June, at the Pavillon Chesnaie du Roy in Paris, Gold Standard will bring together corporate sustainability leaders, project developers, climate experts, and validation and verification bodies (VVBs) to explore effective strategies for driving high-integrity climate action that delivers impact for vulnerable communities and ecosystems around the world.
The conference will provide practical, actionable insights and tools for organisations navigating the evolving landscape of climate targets and strategies, carbon markets, environmental attribute certificates (EACs) and other mechanisms to drive value chain decarbonisation, and nature-based solutions.
Gold Standard are partnering with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) on this flagship event. As the world’s largest and most representative business organisation the ICC represents over 45 million companies in more than 170 countries. Their involvement will strengthen engagement with the global business community, ensuring the event delivers practical insights for companies navigating the evolving climate action landscape.
