Disclosure form

No single formula

Report the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. Section 20.3 identifies separately reportable fossil and industrial emissions results by physical accounting subcategory and scope. This is a more granular dimensional variant of the accounting-category disclosure and must not be flattened into a single aggregate.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Land Sector and Removals Standard, Version 1.1, published 30 June 2026; effective 1 January 2027.

  • Disclose the emissions subcategories reported.
  • Disclose the applicable accounting scope for each reported subcategory.
  • State where data availability prevents separate subcategory reporting.

Record-specific limitations

  • This is a conditional disclosure: separate reporting is recommended where data availability permits.
  • The supplied evidence does not specify a reporting unit.
  • The subcategory disclosure must not be interpreted as a combined total, a net-emissions result, or a land-use-change or removals metric.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
