Formula
V_green_finance = Σ_i V_iApply the source-defined TNFD Recommendations method only within the disclosed location, ecosystem and value-chain boundary. A16.0 specifies a reportable total monetary value of green finance instruments used. It is retained as an optional TNFD Annex 2 structured finance metric rather than treated as a core-metric acceptance gate.

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.

- Definition and classification basis used for green finance instruments.
- Types of instruments included in the reported total.
- Basis used to determine that financed initiatives support nature-related initiatives.
- Currency and monetary-value basis used.
Record-specific limitations
- Annex 2 optional additional metric; it is not an Annex 1 core global metric.
- TNFD provides green bonds and sustainability-linked bonds as examples rather than a complete instrument taxonomy.
- Comparability depends on the reporting organization’s disclosed classification and inclusion basis for green finance instruments and nature-related initiatives.
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.
