Proportion of land degradation (SDG 15.3.1)

is a binary - degraded/not degraded - quantification based on the analysis of available data for three sub-indicators to be validated and reported by national authorities. The sub-indicators (Trends in Land Cover, Land Productivity and Carbon Stocks) were adopted by the UNCCD’s governing body in 2013 as part of its monitoring and evaluation approach. https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-15-03-01.pdf
