Formula
I_total = Σ_i I_iApply the source-defined TNFD Recommendations method only within the disclosed location, ecosystem and value-chain boundary. TNFD Annex 2 metric A21.0 identifies a reportable total-investment construct with a defined purpose: projects addressing negative impacts on nature. The shortlisted ESRS and supplier-impact records are narrative, occurrence, or supplier-management constructs and do not match the investment value, project boundary, or value shape.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
I_total | Total investment in projects addressing negative nature impacts | Total monetary value of investments in included projects addressing negative impacts on nature during the reporting period. | monetary value |
I_i | Investment amount for project i | Monetary value of an included project investment addressing negative impacts on nature. | monetary value |

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: Recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, September 2023.
- State the currency or monetary denomination and the accounting or investment basis used for reported amounts.
- Describe the criteria used to determine that an included project addresses negative impacts on nature.
- Disclose the intervention type used to classify included projects, distinguishing prevention, reduction, and restoration where applicable.
Record-specific limitations
- The extracted source evidence does not specify a universal currency, accounting basis, or whether amounts are expenditures, commitments, or another investment basis.
- The source examples describe prevention, reduction, and restoration interventions but do not establish a quantified avoided-impact or restoration outcome.
- This is an Annex 2 optional additional metric, not an Annex 1 core global 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.
