Following the decision taken at the 6th session of the Joint Task Force on Environmental Indicators, the Joint Task Force is currently working on the revised version of the Guidelines for the Application of Environmental Indicators in Eastern Europe, Caucasus, Central Asia and South-Eastern Europe (Indicator Guidelines).
You can find the revised text of the Indicator Guidelines (indicator by indicator) from the menu listed below. For your easy reference, each revised indicator contains three files: revised description of the indicator, revised table for the production of the indicator, and revised glossary of terms.
This webpage will be updated according the progress made in the revision process.
