Panel discussion with experts

  • There are several indicators with linkages between many or all target areas, how will these be dealt with in the refinement of the indicators and in the process towards the final outcome?
  • How can we ensure that we have indicators that keep us on track towards achieving collective resilience and not creating silos around the targets?

Day 2

09:00 – 09:30

Opening and recap

Session 4 – Technical considerations for refined mapping of indicators

09:30 – 10:30

Breakout groups:

On Criteria: SB 60 suggested that the mapping may use criteria outlined in paragraph 12 of the SB conclusions, were there any challenges in applying them when:

  • Preparing and compiling indicators for submissions?
  • Reviewing/refining the existing indicators?

On a consistent approach

  • How do you ensure a consistent approach/methodology in the process of refining the indicators across both the thematic and dimensional targets?
  • Do you think it may be useful for different target groups to come up with adjustments based on the specific nuances of their topic area?

 On the final outcome of agreed indicators:

  • Given the ongoing discussions on the nature of final outcome of the indicators process, what are your suggestions on the optimal outcome that can take into account the review of the overall progress in achieving the GGA for the 2nd GST as well as different national context and circumstances?

10:30 – 11:00

Coffee break

11:00 – 12:30

Reporting back and Plenary discussions

12:30 – 13:30

Lunch

Session 5 – Discussion on identified gaps and areas not covered by existing indicators

13:30 – 14:30

Panel discussions:

Several submissions identified gaps and areas for the development of new indicators:

  • How have you approached these gaps in your review and refinement of indicators? What patterns have you seen, and what are some of the most common themes?
  • How in your view the indicator process provide opportunities to help address such gaps towards assessing achievement of the GGA?

14:30 – 15:30
