SEBI 2010 - Streamlining European 2010 Biodiversity Indicators

EEA work with Eastern neighbours

5 November 2009

SEBI2010 - Process

Pan-European process endorsed in the Kiev Ministerial ConferenceInitiated in 2005 to select a set of indicators to monitor progress

towards 2010 in EuropeInstitutional partners

• EEA and ETC/BD• ECNC• UNEP-WCMC• European Commission• PEBLDS• Czech Republic

SEBI 2010 built on the conceptual framework provided by the CBD, and worked with a set of headline indicators within the CBD focal areas.

26 Indicators

1. Abundance and distribution of selected species 14. Fragmentation of river systems

2. Red List Index for European species 15. Nutrients in transitional, coastal and marine waters

3. Species of European interest 16. Freshwater quality

4. Ecosystem coverage 17. Forest: Growing stock, increment and fellings

5. Habitats of European interest 18. Forest: Deadwood

6. Livestock genetic diversity 19. Agriculture: Nitrogen balance

7. Nationally designated protected areas 20. Agriculture: Area under management practices potentially supporting biodiversity

8. Sites designated under the EU Habitats and Birds Directives 21. Fisheries: European commercial fish stocks

9. Critical load exceedance for nitrogen 22. Aquaculture: Effluent water quality from finfish farms

10. Invasive alien species in Europe 23. Ecological Footprint of European countries

11. Impact of climatic change on bird populations 24. Patent applications based on genetic resources

12. Marine Trophic Index of European seas 25. Financing biodiversity management

13. Fragmentation of natural and semi-natural areas 26. Public awareness

Reports

2007: technical report documenting the indicators

2009: first assessment report based on the indicators

Representativity of countries within the SEBI 2010 set

Challenges

• Not enough data available for this region • Difficult to make a truly pan European indicator-

based assessment on the status of biodiversity • We are encouraging countries to help us get the

data through the existing and future networks

• ….If you can suggest the right people/agencies to approach please let us know at

ENP East project 2010-2013a specific demand to EEA

Build on previous work on indicator development and assessment

Support the EEA reporting cycle (SOER 2010) for the pan-European component

Consolidate networks and data flows (both environment and statistics) as building blocks of an extended SEIS

Support the gradual implementation of SEIS principles to the Eastern neighbours
