It is evident that a variety of approaches are used by countries in order to assess progress towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. This side event will summarise these approaches, using national examples, and explore the strengths, limitations and considerations for use of each of these approaches. The event will also examine how global data and indicators can be utilised to support national level assessments and present the results of a preliminary analysis to investigate the range of approaches for assessing the results of the 5th national reports.
