The 2020 Target Cross-linking Tool

A development driven by the BISE – Clearing House Mechanisms (CHMs) network Europe

TCT - The Target Cross- linking Tool

A solution for multiple target reporting

A stand alone application – free of charge- to be completely “owned” by user countries

Languages : national and English

Ready with Aichi targets and EU targets already integrated in English

Present functionalities

Each of the objectives / sub- objectives of the National Biodiversity Strategy can be mapped with an Aichi Goal, the most relevant Aichi target and the relevant EU target.

Each of the Actions to be implemented at the national level can be mapped in relation to an objective / sub- objectives of the National Biodiversity Strategy.

Future development requirements

Prepare and test how to include a new level of national indicators and allow cross linking them to national targets

Show and export per EU and Aichi target what was mapped from national information

Consider facilitation of reporting to CBD and other Multinational Environmental Agreements

Substantial number of interested countries needed to justify further investment.

An EIONET- CHM network consultation to be organised by EEA later in 2014.
