This process has resulted in&nbsp;22&nbsp;technically sound and relevant&nbsp;indicators to inform more consistent impact measurement. They&nbsp;have been&nbsp;organised into four&nbsp;impact areas identified as priorities by the ESKEN community: biodiversity, livelihoods, climate action and sustainable production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;indicators&nbsp;provide&nbsp;guidance on the&nbsp;best available methods to monitor and report&nbsp;environmental and social impacts. Depending on the user&#8217;s objectives for monitoring positive impacts, it may be appropriate&nbsp;either&nbsp;to report&nbsp;against&nbsp;all&nbsp;indicators,&nbsp;or a&nbsp;selected few&nbsp;aligned to the&nbsp;user\u2019s needs. Integrating these indicators into investors&#8217; impact strategies helps to ensure contributions to the SDGs, as well as the three Rio Conventions on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Desertification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information regarding this tool or its application, please contact&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:luf-impacthub@unep-wcmc.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>luf-impacthub@unep-wcmc.org<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"carousel-testimonials\">\n  <div class=\"carousel-testimonials__inner\">\n    <div class=\"carousel-testimonials__header\">\n      <h3 class=\"carousel-testimonials__title\">\n        Testimonials      <\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"carousel-testimonials__body\">\n              <ul class=\"carousel carousel-testimonials__cells\">\n                                    <li class=\"carousel-testimonials__cell\">\n                <div class=\"testimonial-tile\">\n                  <span class=\"testimonial-tile__badge\">\n                    <svg\n  xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n  viewBox=\"0 0 62.861 46.709\"\n>\n  <g data-name=\"Group 87\">\n    <path\n      data-name=\"Path 555\"\n      d=\"M8.34 23.82c2.119-2.769 5.472-4 9.309-4 7.09 0 12.212 4.788 12.212 12.863 0 7.591-4.788 14.03-14.848 14.03C5.772 46.708 0 40.102 0 29.375 0 15.028 8.625 3.767 24.224.046a1.982 1.982 0 0 1 2.252 1.251l.317.9a1.554 1.554 0 0 1-1.084 2.052C15.415 7.137 9.176 13.408 7.624 23.57c-.133.938.134 1.017.716.25Zm33 0c2.119-2.769 5.472-4 9.309-4 7.09 0 12.212 4.788 12.212 12.863 0 7.591-4.788 14.03-14.848 14.03-9.242 0-15.015-6.606-15.015-17.334 0-14.347 8.625-25.608 24.24-29.329a1.982 1.982 0 0 1 2.252 1.251l.317.9a1.554 1.554 0 0 1-1.084 2.052C48.431 7.137 42.191 13.408 40.64 23.57c-.15.938.133 1.017.7.25Z\"\n      fill=\"currentColor\"\n    \/>\n  <\/g>\n<\/svg>\n                  <\/span>\n                  <div class=\"testimonial-tile__text\">\n                    <p>&#8220;The IRIS+ platform has aligned to the UNEP land use impact indicators, which form the foundation of the GIIN\u2019s agriculture impact performance benchmark.

"},{"":"","title":"What changes were made to the biodiversity indicators in January 2025, and where has the forests impact areas gone?","text":"We made some changes to the indicators in January 2025 to bring the biodiversity indicators in line with recognised best practise around biodiversity metrics. You can see a full explanation of our thinking, and the changes made, in <a href=\"https:\/\/kpi-directory.shared-api-01.production.linode.unep-wcmc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Guide-on-indicator-changes-Jan-2025.pdf\">this document<\/a>. However, the key changes can be summarised as follows:<br> - Merging the forest indicators into existing biodiversity and sustainable production indicators, to ensure clarity in categorization and avoid duplication in reporting.<br> - Streamlining of ecosystem extent indicators, to minimise references to IFC PS6 and make them more broadly applicable.<br> - Removal of indicators which relied on a counterfactual calculation which was not suitably robust.<br> - Adding indicators capturing ecosystem condition and indicator species presence, to align to TNFD\u2019s state of nature components.<br> - Integrating significance flags into some of the indicators, to align with best practice and guide investors to take action where it matters most."},{"":"","title":"How can an organisation claim that they have aligned with the indicators in the Positive Impact Indicators Directory?","text":"<p>For an organisation to claim that they are aligned with the indicators in the Positive Impact Indicators Directory, they should follow the following criteria:<\/p><p>- Users should have taken indicators from three or more impact areas.
