  1. Streamlining European Biodiversity Indicators 2010 – update May 2007 European Environment Agency

  2. ECOSYSTEM INTEGRITY, GOODS AND SERVICES • Marine trophic index • Connectivity/fragmentation of ecosystems • Water quality in aquatic ecosystems • SUSTAINABLE USE • Area of ecosystems under sustainable management • Forest • Agriculture • Fishery • Aquaculture • Ecological footprint • STATUS AND TRENDS OF COMPONENTS OF BIODIVERSITY • Trends in extent of selected biomes, ecosystems, habitats • Coverage of protected areas • Trends in abundance and distribution of selected species • Change in status of threatened and/or protected species • Trends in genetic diversity of domesticated animals, cultivated plants, fish species of major socioeconomic importance • THREATS TO BIODIVERSITY • Nitrogen deposition • Numbers and costs of invasive alien species (Trends in invasive alien species) • Impact of climate change A set of biodiversity indicators for Europe: 26 specific indicators within 16 EU Headlines + Funding to biodiversity + Public awareness & participation + Patent applications UNECE/FAO ToS – Edinburgh May 2007

  3. A proposed first set • 26 specific indicators within 16 EU Headlines • forest related indicators: • 17. Forest: Growing stock, increment and fellings (based on MCPFE) • 18. Forest: Deadwood (based on MCPFE) • Forest area (additional information based on UN-ECE/FAO Forest Resource Assessment to be added to 4. Ecosystem coverage) UNECE/FAO ToS – Edinburgh May 2007

  4. 2012 Ecosystem Assessment for Europe • The EEA with DG ENV will produce an Ecosystem Assessment for Europe in 2012 • Currently in the design stage UNECE/FAO ToS – Edinburgh May 2007

  5. Next steps • ongoing forest related work (within and outside SEBI 2010): landscape pattern and fragmentation (JRC), Forest Status indicator/CONECOFOR, European Forest Types, etc. • 2007: publication of the EEA technical report • 2008: Indicator based assessment report • 2010: The biodiversity indicators will contribute to the Sate of the Environment report for Europe • 2012: Ecosystem assessment for Europe UNECE/FAO ToS – Edinburgh May 2007

  6. Consultation • The indicators proposed are open for consultation at • http://biodiversity-chm.eea.europa.eu/information/indicator/F1090245995/rep135246 • Questions or comments? Contact frederik.schutyser@eea.europa.eu at the EEA UNECE/FAO ToS – Edinburgh May 2007
