Title

UK Biodiversity Indicator E2, Expenditure on UK and international biodiversity

Abstract

This spreadsheet is the underlying data for the biodiversity indicator E2, Expenditure on UK and international biodiversity. Spending is one way of assessing the priority that is given to biodiversity within Government. Funding for conservation work is critical to delivery of country biodiversity and environment strategies. Adequate access to resources is essential for the effective implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity in developing countries, along with other international biodiversity policy commitments, as part of more general development aid and poverty alleviation. The increases in public sector expenditure in the UK should be considered in the context of the funding needed, in tandem with appropriate policy and legislative measures, to a level sufficient to meet UK and international biodiversity targets. This is one of a suite of 24 UK biodiversity indicators published by JNCC on behalf of Defra; the latest publication date was 19 January 2016 - for indicator E2 the latest data are for 2015. The supporting technical document details the methodology used to create the indicator.
