  1. SEBI Indicator developments Katarzyna Biała, European Environment Agency The Global Biodiversity targets – from Aichi to Montreal Katarzyna BiałaEuropean Environment Agency

  2. The 2010 target at global level: “to achieve by 2010 a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss at the global, regional and national level as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on earth” COP-6 (2002) EU target: “to halt the decline of biodiversity in the EU by 2010 and to significantly reduce the rate of biodiversity loss glonbally by 2010” Kiev resolution on Biodiversity (2003)

  3. Assessments based on SEBI indicator set

  4. State Pressure Response Source: GBO-3, after Butchart et al 2010

  5. Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 Framework for all Conventions and stakeholders. Vision: Living in harmony with nature. By 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people.” Mission Take effective and urgent action to halt the loss of biodiversity in order to ensure that by 2020 ecosystems are resilient and continue to provide essential services, thereby securing the planet’s variety of life, and contributing to human well-being, and poverty eradication 20 Aichi Biodiversity Targets under 5 Strategic Goals

  6. Strategic Goals Amainstreaming Targets on: awareness, values/accounting, incentives, sustainable consumption and production Bpressures Targets on: habitat loss, fisheries, sustainable land use, pollution, invasive alien species, climate change impacts Cstatus Targets on: protected areas, threatened species, genetic diversity of domesticated species and wild relatives Dbenefits Targets on: ecosystem services, restoration, access to genetic resources Eimplementation Targets on: NBSAPs, traditional knowledge and local communities, science base, resources http://www.cbd.int/sp/targets/

  7. EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2020 HEADLINE TARGET: halting the loss of biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystem services in the EU by 2020, and restoring them in so far as feasible, while stepping up the EU contribution to averting global biodiversity loss; Council Conclusions March 2010 targets • Conserving and restoring nature • Maintaining and enhancing ecosystems and their services • Ensuring the sustainability of agriculture and forestry • Ensuring the sustainability of fisheries • Combating invasive alien species • Addressing the global biodiversity crisis + 20 Actions

  8. CBD Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on Indicators • COP10 requested the CBD Secretariat to convene an AHTEG to: • Identify indicators to measure progress against the Aichi targets • Provide a framework for reporting • Provide guidance for national indicator development

  9. CBD Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on Indicators • The road to AHTEG: • Support from several initiatives and organisations: • workshops & meetings • reports – background documents for AHTEG participants

  10. GEO BON the Executive Secretary of the CBD invited the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) and its constituency to prepare an evaluation of existing observation capabilities relevant to the twenty ‘Aichi targets’ contained in the Strategic Plan.

  11. GEO BON • For each Aichi target: • Key concepts • An initial list of variables / datasets / indicators • Gaps and data limitations • Adequacy assessment • Estimated costs • + • “essential variables”

  12. UNEP-WCMC Ecosystem Service indicators Provisioning service metrics are common, others less so Mapping and modeling useful tools for some services, if properly validated

  13. SEBI for AHTEG Information document: “Lessons learned from a regional process”

  14. CBD Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on Indicators Held in the UK in June 2011, together with a supporting International Expert Workshop

  15. Framework

  16. Goal 1 Target 2 Target 1 Target 3 National targets Regional targets

  17. AHTEG results • 12 Headline Indicators – each covers several sub-topics • Operational indicators needed under each headline – may be relevant to more than one headline • Three ‘grades’ • A: Priority indicators that are ready for use globally, and, where appropriate, sub-globally (22 indicators) • B: Priority indicators to be developed at global and sub-global levels (51 indicators) • C: Additional indicators for consideration at sub-global level • Main development needs for strategic goals • A (mainstreaming) • D (benefits) • E (implementation)

  18. CBD Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on Indicators Will report through SBSTTA 15 to CoP11 in 2012. Flexible framework of indicators as basis for 5th & 6th National Reports Report and recommendations in SBSTTA 15 papers INF/6, 15/2 and 15/3http://www.cbd.int/doc/?meeting=sbstta-15

  19. SBSTTA 15 • SBSSTA - an open-ended intergovernmental scientific advisory body known as the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice • provides the Conference of the Parties (COP) and, as appropriate, its other subsidiary bodies, with timely advice relating to the implementation of the Convention. • SBSTTA comprises government representatives competent in the relevant field of expertise. Its functions include: • providing assessments of the status of biological diversity; • providing assessments of the types of measures taken in accordance with the provisions of the Convention; • responding to questions that the COP may put to the body. • SBSTTA 15 – Montreal, Canada, 7 - 11 November 2011
