This hub signposts to ‘outcome pages’ which:

  • describe the indicators used for each outcome

  • report live information on the status and trends of indicators

  • summarise what this tells us about progress towards achieving each outcome.

Data Interpretation

The Monitoring Framework includes nineteen high-level indicators. There are between two and five indicators for each of the six outcomes. Additional indicators may be included as the Monitoring Framework is further developed.

The indicators were selected to help tell a strategic story of progress towards each outcome. However, given the broad scope of the Environment Strategy outcomes, the indicators alone cannot provide a complete picture of progress. The indicator data should therefore be considered alongside wider sources of evidence in assessing progress towards the Environment Strategy outcomes.
