Unit meaning: Each field uses its stated unit and retains the applicable sector, reporting boundary, period and method.

Published dimensions

  • allocation purpose: conservation or restoration
  • measure field: area or percentage of applicable land
  • land tenure/control: owned, leased or managed
  • official metric code: AF.A1.1
  • metric status: additional recommended sector metric

Formula type
Structured Disclosure

Disclosure form

No single formula

Report the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. AF.A1.1 specifies a separately reportable outcome with two compatible output fields—allocated area and percentage of applicable land. Because the source requires both km² and percentage rather than one common scalar unit, it is published as a structured disclosure with field-level units. It is not the same construct as total land use, protected forestland, land-use change or land-use intensity shortlist records.

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.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).

  • Define the land population included as owned, leased or managed.
  • Disclose the conservation and restoration designation criteria used.
  • State whether conservation and restoration areas overlap and how any overlap is handled.
  • For the percentage field, disclose the applicable total land denominator and calculation basis.
  • Retain the AF.A1.1 sector route and source-table attribution.

Record-specific limitations

  • The source does not specify a reporting-date convention or reporting-period basis.
  • The source does not specify whether conservation and restoration allocations must be mutually exclusive.
  • The source provides km² and percentage fields but does not prescribe a denominator calculation method beyond land owned, leased or managed.

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.
