Climate change adaptation indicators for biodiversity
ETC/ACM Technical Paper 2011/14

Released: 2012/01/31: See the report

Abstract
This report considers proposed ‘high-level’ biodiversity adaptation indicator (BAI) categories ETC/ACC Technical Paper 2010/15, as a starting point for embedding, within related policy areas, indicators for monitoring and evaluating the implementation and effectiveness of policies, measures and actions in reducing the vulnerability of biodiversity to climate change. Stakeholder input was secured and relevant on-going policy initiatives at an EU level were briefly reviewed. The report concludes that there is an urgent need to undertake an in-depth review of the complete spectrum of EU indicators in relation to the high-level BAI categories (and vice versa) to identify those that are relevant by policy area and associated data issues, and where existing indicators need to be modified or new indicators developed.
