SEBI2010 - Streamlining European 2010 Biodiversity Indicators
The first assessment of progress towards 2010 based on the SEBI 2010 indicators is now available at http://www.eea.europa.eu/highlights/publications/progress-towards-the-european-2010-biodiversity-target/
A Pan European initiative, SEBI2010 (Streamlining European 2010 Biodiversity Indicators), was launched in 2004. Its aim is to develop a European set of biodiversity indicators to assess and inform about progress towards the European 2010 targets.
The work is performed in collaboration between EEA (the European Environment Agency), DG Environment of the European Commission, ECNC (the European Centre for Nature Conservation), UNEP/ PEBLDS Secretariat with the lead of Czech Republic and UNEP-WCMC (the World Conservation Monitoring Centre). Work is lead by a Coordination Team.
In 2005 the Coordination Team and Expert groups involving more than 100 experts nominated by European countries as well as non Governmental Organisations started working for the compilation of a First European Set of Biodiversity Indicators for assessing the 2010 target.
The technical report containing specifications of the 26 indicators selected was published in 2007 (available at http://reports.eea.europa.eu/technical_report_2007_11/en).
