Global Environment Outlook 6 - Chapter 13

This chapter follows the twofold top-down and bottom-up policy effectiveness assessment framework outlined in Chapter 10. Key policies and governance approaches (top-down): A set of policy clusters and five specific policy instruments related to these clusters is presented. Five case studies are used as illustrative examples of these policy instruments (Table 13.1). The case studies are not intended to be representative. They were selected to cover the three dimensions of biodiversity (ecosystems, species and genetics), a range of approaches within the typology, a broad geographical distribution of examples, and varying degrees of success (see Section 10.6). Indicators (bottom-up): The case studies are followed by a review of three policy-relevant indicators (see Section 10.7), which track progress towards internationally agreed goals and targets, complementing the policy and governance approaches described above.
