Abstract
The CBD is developing a coherent framework of indicators to assess progress towards post-2010 targets at global and national levels. COP10 decisions on the new CBD Strategic Plan include the establishment of an Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on Indicators for the Strategic Plan 2011-2020 to provide advice to COP11, including tasks to: (a) Develop further guidance and propose options for the establishment of mechanisms to support Parties in their efforts to develop national indicators and associated biodiversity monitoring and reporting systems, in support of setting of targets, according to national priorities and capacities, and monitoring of progress towards them; (b) Provide advice on the strengthening of linkages between global and national indicator development and reporting.
