The standard state Gibbs free energies of formation of $C$ (graphite) and $C$ (diamond) at $T = 298 \ K$ are:
$\Delta_f G^0[C(\text{graphite})] = 0 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$\Delta_f G^0[C(\text{diamond})] = 2.9 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
The standard state means that the pressure should be $1 \ bar$,and the substance should be pure at a given temperature. The conversion of graphite [$C$ (graphite)] to diamond [$C$ (diamond)] reduces its volume by $2 \times 10^{-6} \ m^3 \ mol^{-1}$. If $C$ (graphite) is converted to $C$ (diamond) isothermally at $T = 298 \ K$,the pressure at which $C$ (graphite) is in equilibrium with $C$ (diamond) is:
[Useful information: $1 \ J = 1 \ kg \ m^2 \ s^{-2} ; 1 \ Pa = 1 \ kg \ m^{-1} \ s^{-2} ; 1 \ bar = 10^5 \ Pa$ ] (in $bar$)
