Why we work with data and indicators …Why we work with data and indicators …
Must work to eliminate numerous inconsistencies existing in the current data sets as well as to reduce unnecessary incompatibility among different data set.
Great need for user-friendly indicators that would assist decision-making processes.
Great need to improve the accessibility of data and indicators
The objective of UNEP is to assist countries in the development of information system, to create a highly accessible regional data base, and to promote harmonisation of information collection in the whole region.

Limited availability and accessibility of data
Difference in definitions, concepts, measurement methods and technologies, etc.
Data “copy right” issues: statistics and georeferenced
Numerous data and reporting requirements from international, sub-regional and national organizations (too many reports and indicators)
Limited institutional capacity in general
Why we wish that we could avoid working with data and indicators….Why we wish that we could avoid working with data and indicators….

METAS DE GUÍA / PROPÓSITOS INDICATIVOS Indicador
Diversidad Biológica
Aumento en la superficie boscosaAsegurar el manejo sostenible de los recursos forestales de la región, reduciendo significativamente las tasas actuales de deforestación. Proporción de la superficie cubierta por bosques1
Territorio bajo áreas protegidas Incrementar significativamente la superficie del territorio regional bajo áreas de protección, considerando en su definición zonas de transición y corredores biológicos.
Porcentaje de Áreas Protegidas con respecto al territorio total1
Recursos Genéticos – Distribución equitativa de los recursosAdoptar marcos de regulación para el acceso a los recursos genéticos así como para la participación justa y equitativa en los beneficios derivados de su utilización, compatibles con el Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica.
Existencia de leyes nacionales relacionadas con el acceso a recursos genéticos y la repartición de beneficios
Diversidad MarinaAsegurar la conservación y uso adecuado de los recursos marinos de losPaíses de la Cuenca del Caribe, en particular en los ecosistemas marino-costeros.
Áreas costeras – marinas protegidas con respecto al área marino y costeras totales
Ejemplo de indicadores propuestosEjemplo de indicadores propuestos/Examples of proposed indicators/Examples of proposed indicators
GUIDING GOALS / INDICATIVE PURPOSES Indicator
Biological Diversity
Increase of forest areaEnsure the sustainable management of forest resources in the region, significantly reducing present deforestation rates.
Proportion of land area covered by forest1
Territory included in protected areasIncrease significantly the territory in the region under protected area regimes and, when defining them, include buffer zones and biological corridors.
Protected areas as percentage of total land area1
Genetic Resources – Equitable Sharing of BenefitsAdopt regulatory frameworks for access to genetic resources, as well as for fair and equitable sharing of the benefits derived from their use, compatible with the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Existence of national laws related to access to genetic resources and benefit sharing
Marine biodiversityEnsure the conservation and proper use of the Caribbean Basin Countries’ marine resources with particular emphasis on marine and coastal ecosystems.
Protected marine/coastal areas as percentage of total marine and coastal areas
