Additional Metric Notes
Rationale
Total spatial footprint (per TNFD guidance) is defined as the sum of the 1) Total surface area controlled, managed, or sourced from (km²); 2) Total disturbed area (km²); and 3) Total rehabilitated/restored area (km²).
Additional/complementary metrics
- Disaggregation by land owned/leased vs sourced from
- Disaggregation by anthropogenic vs natural ecosystem land cover
- Direct vs indirect sourcing
