Inventory and analysis report: Existing indicators on chemicals and waste management - Note by the secretariat

This document identifies an initial “long list” of 279 existing indicators that are relevant and/or meaningful to the chemicals and waste agenda. These include indicators from various indicator frameworks. A screened list of 63 indicators were selected in three steps which met several criteria and by which availability of data to establish a baseline, existence of custodian agency responsible for collection of indicator data and a methodology to measure progress against the indicator are confirmed. The screened indicators contribute to the 29 proposed targets in the sound management of chemicals and waste beyond 2020 framework available at the time of issuing of this document (i.e., from the Draft IP Single Consolidated Document as corrected per Plenary discussion 3 March 2023 following IP4.2).
