TNFD C1.1 Part of ecosystem use change: Extent of land/freshwater/ocean ecosystem that is sustainably managed (km²) by type of ecosystem and type of business activity .
For EN/HB/RE/RS:No further sector specific guidance. Refer to the core global metric guidance. For CM: In reporting ecosystem use change associated with quarrying, the extent of land/freshwater/ocean ecosystem use change (km2) should cover the gross area disturbed, as well as the gross area reclaimed in the reporting period. Values should be broken down by area disturbed in each phase as follows:
• Pre-disturbance;
• Clearance;
• Extraction, development and production;
• Quarry closure; and
• Post-closure project phases, including rehabilitation or reclamation, while the land remains in the organisation’s value chain. An organisation may provide information additional to the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology (GET) to define the type of ecosystem they refer to, such as regional or local classifications. Organisations should refer to other relevant TNFD sector guidance for ecosystem use change downstream, in particular the engineering, construction and real estate guidance.
Target example
[Company name] will increase the extent of [land/freshwater/ocean] that is sustainably managed in [target location(s)] by [target; area (km²) or percentage] by [target year], compared with a [baseline year] baseline.
