OECD WORK ON
As part of a regional programme, the OECD is also supporting the countries of Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia to identify national sets of green growth indicators and create an evidence-based system for monitoring progress towards green growth in the region.

The OECD designed the Green Growth Indicators to help countries assess and compare their progress. The measurement framework combines the main features of green growth with the basic principles of accounting and the pressure-stateresponse model. The indicators provide an important building block for monitoring progress towards several SDGs (www. oecd.org /sdd /measuring-distance-to-the-sdgs-targets.htm). Green growth indicators are regularly used in OECD country reviews that help countries improve their policies and practices and share their experience. OECD experts contribute to development and refinement of methodologies for global SDG indicators and to related global data collection. The OECD is an observer to the UN Inter-Agency and Expert Group on SDG indicators.

Note: Countries started at different levels in 2000. The base year chosen for monitoring progress also plays a role. The best improvement (relative to the leader) is located on the outer frontier of each axis, the worst improvement is located in the origin. The green line indicates no change; values below that level indicate deterioration. Data and sources: http://doi.org/b8rw
