Section (c.4) Natural Capital Units Attributes

In Landler, TLG supports Natural Capital Units (”NCUs”) in the form of Uplift Units (below) and Preservation Units (attributes currently being designed).

Uplift Units come with the following attributes:

• Uplift Unit Short Name (auto assigned)

• Uplift Unit (unique-) ID (auto assigned)

• NCA (unique-) ID

• Natural Capital Category (Water (Water Holding Capacity), Climate (Soil Carbon))

• Uplift Unit

• Denomination (1 cubic meter, 1 ton etc.)

• NCA balance at issuance date

• Issuance level (in NCA scale values)

• Assessment method (model) (Release No# and release date)

• Unit issuance date

• Unit duration

• Unit expiry date

Uplift Units track subsequent measurements recorded on the underlying NCA, change of ownerships, adjustments to the issuance level and other events relevant to the status and quality of an Uplift Unit. This includes the calculation of KPIs, such as the RDI%.

The RDI% of an uplift unit describes the relative distance in % between the issuance level of an Uplift Unit and the current NCA balance in the applicable Land Characteristic (i.e., NCA balance of water retention capacity for Uplift Units in water retention capacity).

A positive RDI% indicates that the Uplift Unit is presently verified by the originating NCA balance in that Land Characteristic. An RDI% of zero indicates that the NCA balance equals the issuance level of the Uplift Unit. An Uplift Unit with an RDI% of zero is considered verified. A negative RDI% indicates that the Uplift Unit is presently not verified by the NCA balance. The RDI% changes with every new measurement recording on the NCA.

The RDI% is made available as part of the position detail view in the Nature Equity Account.
