The international organisations (custodian agencies) that are responsible for the respective SDG-indicator publish methodical explanations for the indicator - the so-called global metadata.

Here, national time series that fit the global metadata best as well as their comparability with the global metadata are presented. Please find further methodical and country-specific information in the related national metadata.

Time series available	Above-ground biomass stock in forest Forest area located within protected areas Forest area net change rate Forest area under an independently verified forest management certification scheme
Comparability with the global metadata	The time series are compliant to the global metadata.
National metadata	Metadata on the presented time series opens in a new window

This tab provides relevant information on the SDG indicators - such as the political target, the primary responsible organisation (custodian agency) and a link to the global metadata. The global metadata is provided by the Uited Nations Statistics Division.

Target	By 2020, promote the implementation of sustainable management of all types of forests, halt deforestation, restore degraded forests and substantially increase afforestation and reforestation globally
Indicator name	Progress towards sustainable forest management
