Indicators
15.9.1: Integration of biodiversity
(a) Number of countries that have established national targets in accordance with or similar to Aichi Biodiversity Target 2 of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 in their national biodiversity strategy and action plans and the progress reported towards these targets and (b) integration of biodiversity into national accounting and reporting systems, defined as implementation of the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting
Definition
Sub-indicator (a) Denmark's primary contribution to implementing the UN Strategic Plan for Biodiversity is through the EU Biodiversity Strategy. Consequently, Denmark does not prepare national statements on progress in meeting the individual Aichi Targets. In addition, Denmark's national biodiversity strategy is being revised. Consequently, at present, no targets have been established (Sixth Danish Country Report - Convention on Biological Diversity 2019). Sub-indicator (b) Denmark has implemented SEEA Central Framework in the green national accounts that are being produced in Statistics Denmark. SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting has not yet been implemented in Statistics Denmark.
