What are tiers?
Tier 1
Estimate using own judgement and observations
Tier 2
Estimate using third-party professional estimates or public data
Tier 3
Model or measure based on site-specific surveys/sampling, remote or in-field sensing, laboratory analysis, etc.
Example data sources
Internal records

Site-specific measurements or model outputs
Notes
Note that this metric may be derived from Environmental asset accounts (see Environmental assets tab). Variants of this metric include TNFD core disclosure metrics C3.1: “Quantity of high-risk natural commodities (tonnes) sourced from land/ocean/freshwater, split into types, including proportion of total natural commodities. Quantity of high-risk natural commodities (tonnes) sourced under a sustainable management plan or certification programme, including proportion of total high-risk natural commodities. Users should refer to the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) High Impact Commodity List (HICL) and indicate what proportion of these commodities represent threatened and CITES listed species.”

Third-party data sources
Maps of Australian land use at catchment scale are available at National Map – Catchment Scale Land Use 2020 – Secondary classification (select layer: Catchment Scale Land Use 2020 – Secondary classification). However, this cannot be used to infer land use change over time, due to different dates of map data inputs. For more information, see ABARES – Land use.
Site-specific measurements or model outputs
Data on Australian land use at various scales are available at Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) – Land use data download. Whether these data can be used to infer land use change over time depends on the dataset, the location and the specific periods being compared.

Notes
The relevant biodiversity services will depend on the production system, target productivity level and climate. An example might be pollination services, which could be measured according to the proportion of land area requiring pollination successfully pollinated. Variants of this metric include TNFD additional disclosure metric A6.1: “Indicator: Ecosystem services the organisation depends on: measurement of the change in the availability and quality of the ecosystem services. Metric: See Measuring changes in ecosystem services in the TNFD additional guidance on the LEAP approach.”
