A type of Contract that allows the immediate purchase of digital nature assets.
A type of Natural Capital Unit representing the maintenance or preservation of a defined quantity or quality of an existing Natural Capital component or characteristic over a defined period. These units quantify the value of conserved natural capital (e.g., a biodiversity unit representing a protected species or habitat)
A radar technique that creates high-resolution images by combining multiple signals. Effective in cloudy conditions and at night, used for flood monitoring, glacier movement, and infrastructure assessment.
TEEB promotes the inclusion of ecosystems and biodiversity values in decision-making, demonstrating their economic contributions to society and the environment.
TNFD provides a framework for companies and financial institutions to report and act on nature-related risks, aiming to align with global biodiversity goals.
The frequency at which a satellite or sensor revisits the same location. High temporal resolution is crucial for monitoring changes such as deforestation, crop growth, and natural disasters.
Uplift Units are used to measure and verify increases in natural capital within a specific area, allowing the performance of environmental initiatives to be tracked and verified.
A type of Natural Capital Unit representing a verifiable improvement, restoration, or net gain in the quantity or quality of a Natural Capital component over a defined period. These units quantify the positive change resulting from specific actions or interventions (e.g., a unit for an increase in soil organic carbon, additional tons of CO2 sequestered, measurable enhancement of water quality or biodiversity levels).
An individual belonging to an Organization who has access to the platform.
Monitors land, ocean, and atmospheric conditions, with resolutions from 375m–750m and near-daily coverage. Detects wildfires, night-time lights, and weather patterns.
VNU is a unit of verified environmental benefit, such as carbon credits or biodiversity credits, which can be traded or used for reporting purposes.
Validation ensures that processes or outcomes are aligned with the original objectives and specifications, confirming that the environmental or financial goals are met.
A metric that gives an indication of the financial value of the natural capital of an asset. Valuation in Landler is assessed using two methods: Top-down: Insert description Bottom-up: Insert description
Shows the potential financial loss to your business from nature-related risks like supply chain disruptions. Can be used to calculated ROI of nature investments.
An index derived from satellite imagery to assess vegetation health by analyzing the difference between near-infrared and red light reflectance. Higher values indicate healthier vegetation.
Verification involves systematically assessing the reliability and accuracy of reported data or claims, often through independent third-party audits or assessments.
