Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. The source defines a reportable structured family rather than a single scalar metric: it expressly permits several green-space measures and requires composition and connectivity information. Publishing it as a structured profile preserves those method and unit variants instead of inventing a common unit or flattening distinct measures.
Verified sources
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.

Method disclosures required
Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).
- Identify each green-space creation measure used and its unit or denominator.
- Disclose the project or asset boundary and reporting period.
- Disclose the proportion of plant species native to the ecosystem.
- Disclose ecological connectivity information associated with the created green space.
- For any normalized difference vegetation index measure, disclose the threshold and area basis used.
Record-specific limitations
- The source presents multiple potential measures rather than one mandatory common unit; values using different measures are not directly interchangeable.
- Reported green-space extent or planting activity does not by itself establish ecological quality, native-species composition or connectivity.
- Comparability depends on disclosed project or asset boundary and the measure selected.
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.
