BREAKOUT SESSION QUESTIONS

  • Breakout Session Block 1 “Designing the Metrics”
    1. In developing a top-down approach for the identification of essential variables starting at societal goals and targets (such as the SDGs and associated targets, or the GEO Strategic Targets), what process and criteria could be used to develop indicators that can serve as a management tool to support planning and a report tool to support assessments of progress?
      Note: An example of such a process could be the Result-Based Managment (RBM) approach; see http://www.unep.org/geo/pdfs/geo5/GEO5_report_C17.pdf for a recommendation to apply RBM of MDGs to sustainability MDG 7 (pp 470 UNEP GEO-5).
    2. How developed are indicators in your area of societal goals?
