Overview on production and sharing of 8 selected indicators by Central Asian countries

MONECA Regional Coordination Meeting, 10 June 2014, Almaty,

Kazakhstan

UNECE environmental indicators

42 indicators:- 3 air pollution and

ozone depletion- 3 climate change- 16 water- 4 biodiversity- 2 land and soil- 2 agriculture- 4 energy- 4 transport- 4 waste

• For each indicator:– description file with

definitions, data structure, collection methods, etc.,

– excel production table, and

– glossary

Current focus of work: production and sharing of 8 indicators

• 8 indicators:– 3 air pollution and

ozone depletion– 1 climate change– 2 water– 1 land and soil– 1 waste

(A1) Emission of pollutants into atmospheric air(A2) Ambient air quality in urban areas (A3) Ozone depleting substances(B3) Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (C10) BOD5 and concentration of ammonium in rivers(C11) Nutrients in freshwater(D1) Protected areas (without regimes of protection)(I1) Waste generation
