| Description of indicator |
The indicator is composed of five sub-indicators that measure progress towards all dimensions of sustainable forest management. The sub-indicators are: - Forest area annual net change and net change rate - Above-ground biomass stock in forest - Proportion of forest area located within legally established protect areas - Proportion of forest area under a long term forest management plan - Forest area under an independently verified forest management certification scheme. |
| Unit |
