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
