Global- Target 7

Globally generated data:

Indicators outputs were produced from data provided by a global provider/institution

Target 7 Reduce pollution risks and the negative impact of pollution from all sources, by 2030, to levels that are not harmful to biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, considering cumulative effects, including: reducing excess nutrients lost to the environment by at least half including through more efficient nutrient cycling and use; reducing the overall risk from pesticides and highly hazardous chemicals by at least half including through integrated pest management, based on science, taking into account food security and livelihoods; and also preventing, reducing, and working towards eliminating plastic pollution.

Headline Indicators

7.1 Index of coastal eutrophication potential The indicator aims to measure the contribution to coastal eutrophication from countries and the state of coastal eutrophication. Therefore, two levels of indicators are recommended: Level 1: Globally available data from earth observations and modelling Level 2: National data which will be collected from countries (through the relevant Regional Seas Programme, where applicable (i.e. for...

7.2 Pesticide environment concentration The indicator is defined as the annual agricultural use of total pesticides in active ingredients for the following categories of pesticides: Fungicides Bactericides; Herbicides; Insecticides; Plant Growth Regulators; Seed Treatment Fungicides; Seed Treatment Insecticides; Mineral Oils; Rodenticides; Disinfectants; and other pesticides, nes (not elsewhere specified). The sum of active...
