PERIOD OF CONSULTATION
27 Oct - 25 Nov 2022
The Adaptation Requirements focus on designing quality adaptation projects through hazard analysis and risk assessment, that also consider the adaptive capacity and engagement of local stakeholders, climate change education and the resilience of technologies or materials utilised. Designed to carefully dovetail adaptation planning within a project design standard (Gold Standard for the Global Goals), facilitating the preparedness of projects to recruit finance and generate adaptive outcomes ready for investment. Overall, the requirements aim to incentivise, identify and value projects or portfolios which support communities to adapt for future climate risks and mobilise investments for such projects.
Gold Standard have already begun the piloting process on projects using the Adaptation Requirements and are currently welcoming more pilot projects. Outcomes from the public consultation along with learnings from the piloting process will be considered and reviewed to finalise the Requirements.
