On-Ground Investment Location Data Capture, Management and Sharing Standards

About the standards

We rely on accurate and consistent location data for on-ground investment areas. The data is represented as mapped polygons. We use it when planning, monitoring and reporting on our programs.

With this data, we can:

• compare likely environmental benefits from different proposed activities
• report on cumulative outputs and likely benefits across landscapes and over time.

The standards set out:

• requirements for data storage and sharing
• how to use fine-scale mapping for different kinds of on-ground activities.
