FDES (Framework for the development of Environment Statistics) does not really cover policy indicators. (Contact Reena Shah from UNSD on the FDES.)
SEEA (System of Economic Environmental Accounts) policy indicators are related but not included in ecosystem accounts. (Contact Alessandra Alferi from UNSD on the SEEA.)
Aichi Target 11: By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes.
Water management is also related to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.
This indicator builds upon an existing survey instrument which was developed by UNEP-DHI and monitors different aspects of the policy framework for integrated water resource management. This data is based on a policy related questionnaire to stakeholders. A full website and summary of the SDG 6.5.1 monitoring is on the UNP-DHI Integrated Water Resource Management Portal. There are four sections to the data collection: enabling environment; institutions and participation; management instruments; and financing.
