Afforestation
Establishment of forest through planting, deliberate seeding or natural regeneration on land that, until then, was under a different land use or not used. Afforestation implies a transformation of land use from non-forest to forest, in accordance with the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (‘FAO’) definition of afforestation, where forest means a land matching the forest definition as set out in national law, or where not available, is in accordance with the FAO definiti...

Each row is a taxonomy that binds this use-of-proceeds to one or more objectives. The coloured tags show the value-chain role (direct / enabling / transitional), the contribution sign (positive / neutral / negative), and the taxonomy's traffic-light classification where applicable.

Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.80): Planting native riparian species is a specific form of afforestation or reforestation, narrower than the general afforestation activity but directly aligned with its scope.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.65): Urban rewilding and greenspace restoration can involve afforestation or tree planting elements in urban areas, though it encompasses broader urban ecology beyond traditional afforestation.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.65): Fire-resistant species planting is a specific afforestation approach with climate adaptation considerations, narrower than general afforestation.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.80): Planting native, pest-resistant tree species in reforestation is a specific implementation approach within afforestation/reforestation activities.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.90): Afforestation and reforestation is more specific than the broader EU activity 1.1 (afforestation only), though reforestation aligns with EU activity 1.2.
Semantic mapping (confidence: 0.97): Direct match - both activities specifically address afforestation as a forestry and climate change mitigation activity.
