JOINT IMPACT INDICATORS
CLIMATE
J-012
GHG Emissions
Amount of GHG emissions emitted during the reporting period, measured in tons. Project-level emissions information provided by client can be used to calculate derivative indicators (e.g. emissions savings/reduction/avoidance) according to the most relevant methodology.
Unit: t(CO2e)
J-013
GHG Emissions Sequestration
Amount of GHG emissions sequestered during the reported period, measured in tons.
Unit: t(CO2e)
J-014
Water Consumption
Energy consumption measured in kilowatt-hours or megajoules of energy consumed during the reporting period. Distinguishing heat and electricity consumption is recommended. This indicator may be used to measure performance (e.g. kWh/m2 for a green building) or could be an absolute measure (e.g. before and after comparison).
Unit: m3(water)
J-015
Wastewater Treatment
Amount of wastewater treated to appropriate standards during the reporting period, measured in cubic meters. May also include the amount of untreated wastewater discharges avoided.
Unit: m3(wastewater)
J-016
Energy Consumption
Energy consumption measured in kilowatt-hours or megajoules of energy consumed during the reporting period. Distinguishing heat and electricity consumption is recommended. This indicator may be used to measure performance (e.g. kWh/m2 for a green building) or could be an absolute measure (e.g. before and after comparison).
Unit: kWh or MJ(energy)
J-017
Land Use
Hectares of land used during the reporting period. May be used to assess land use efficiency (e.g. MW/ha for reservoirs, i.e. megawatts of power produced per hectare of land used for water storage).
Unit: # ha(land)
J-018
Sustainable Management of Natural Resources
Hectares of land covered by sustainable land management practices, verified as being sustainable managed according to internationally recognized standards. Sustainable management of living natural resources includes both biodiversity and environmental services. Proxys of certification through an independent audit and verification process may be used to determine sustainable use. Distinct methodologies may need to be used for forestry, farmland, etc.
Unit: # ha(land meeting standards and/or certified)
