Framework alignment notes
i
The details of a metric’s alignment to each framework, including where the same or similar metric can be found within the listed framework.
GBF Target 5, Target 9, Target 10
TNFD A1.0 Land-use intensity (tonnes or litres of output/km2). This will vary by sector context; for example, crop yield (tonnes/km2) for the agriculture sector
Target example
