Additional Metric Notes
i
More details or context about the metric not captured above.
Rationale:
This is a TNFD placeholder metric, acknowledging that further refinement is needed, including the definition of high-risk activities. Invasive Alien Species (IAS) exert pressure on environments and ecosystems, making it extremely important to understand their presence, the number unintentionally produced, and the proportion of activities considered high risk for their introduction.
Additional/complementary metrics:
