Assessing progress towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, and the use of global datasets |
Introduction
Thank you for contributing to this survey, which is being conducted by UNEP-WCMC in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity. The survey has two sections. The first section relates to the different approaches used by countries to assess progress towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets in their 5th National Reports. The second section examines how countries use or could use global level data to support monitoring of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020.
The survey results will support the preparation of background documents for the Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on indicators for the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020. The AHTEG is being held in response to paragraph 20(b) of decision XII/1 and with the generous financial support of the European Union and the Government of Switzerland. The results will also be used to support the development of a Road Map to support NBSAP practitioners in using global datasets to support national biodiversity monitoring. All documents will be made available to survey respondents for comments before release.
