Appendix A Defined terms

This appendix is an integral part of IFRS S2 and has the same authority as the other parts of the Standard.

carbon credit

climate resilience

Climate resilience involves the capacity to manage climate-related risks and benefit from climate-related opportunities, including the ability to respond and adapt to climate-related transition risks and climate-related physical risks.
