Climate change statistics at theglobal levelNational Technical Training Workshop onEnvironment StatisticsKololi, Banjul, The Gambia6-8 August 2019United Nations Statistics Division

UNSD past activities UNSD organized two conferences on climate change andofficial statistics Oslo, 14-16 April 2008(http://unstats.un.org/unsd/climate change/default.htm) Seoul, 11-12 December 2008(http://unstats.un.org/unsd/climate change/Korea/default.htm) A review on climate change in official statistics by the AustralianBureau of Statistics was presented at the Statistical Commission in2009. Specify how official statistics may be used for climate change measurementand analysis Identify recommendations and actions to mainstream the climate changeaspect in official statistics No follow-up for some yearsUnited Nations Statistics Division

Climate change statistics:where are we now? Demand is greaterthan supply,particularly forenvironmentalaspects, particularly indeveloping countries Guidance exists buton some areas IPCC frameworkUnited Nations Statistics Division

State of statistics and guidance Climate process drivers - statistics relatively more available. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions transform into globalconcentrations. Climate change evidence - statistics relatively more available. Temperature and precipitation are available over long periods oftime. Climate change impacts and vulnerability - some statistics areproduced on impacts but more are needed. For vulnerability, need todevelop methodologies and capacity. Emerging data needs: Extreme climate-related meteorologicalevents and natural disasters increase in frequency and intensity. Mitigation and adaptation statistics are less often produced andmore difficult to capture statistically. Insufficient resources for measurement and lack of guidance. Adaptation statistics, while may be produced for particularsectors, need to be linked to climate change statistics.United Nations Statistics Division

Report of the Secretary-General on Climate Change Statistics to the47th session of the Statistical CommissionUNSD, in collaboration with UN-ECE, prepared the Report of the Secretary-General onClimate Change Statistics to the 47th session of the Statistical Commission(E/CN.3/2016/15) (New York, 8-10 March techange docs conf.htmlDecision atistical-commission-E.pdfMain decisions:For countries: Use the FDES 2013 to guide the development of climate change statisticsand indicators given the close interrelationship between environment statistics andclimate change statistics.For UNSD: Review and consider the set of climate change-related statistics andindicators of the Economic Commission for Europe as a basis for developing a global setof climate change statistics and indicators, applicable to countries at various stages ofdevelopment.United Nations Statistics Division

UNSD Pilot Survey on Climate Change-relatedStatistics and Indicators - summary The UN-ECE set includes 39 indicators, grouped into five areas:Drivers – Emissions – Impacts – Mitigation – Adaptation 12 countries (11 developing and 1 developed), most of which are part ofExpert Group on Environment Statistics (EGES), responded to Pilot Survey.United Nations Statistics Division

Pilot Survey – key pointsDemonstrated the need to develop: new or additional indicators to reflect situation in developingcountries. process on how to identify/modify the indicators based on: existing global processes (e.g. incorporating indicators identified inadaptation and mitigation plans being submitted to UNFCCC). regional and national policies, priorities and processes. systematic process for a full consultation at national level to involve allstakeholders.United Nations Statistics Division

UNSD: Globalizing climate change statistics andindicators (current activities)To strengthen the link between statistics and policy, UNSD isengaging closely with UNFCCC to develop the global set ofclimate change statistics and indicators.United Nations Statistics Division

Towards the global set of climate change indicators(consulted sources to date)Processing steps: The documents of the above sources were compiled. Key word search was conducted in the documents using predefined set ofkey words, for example: Natural disasters, threatened species, forest area, emissions. Next, key words were grouped into common indicators and consolidated. Indicators were assigned to one (or more) of the five climate change areas(drivers, impacts, adaptation, mitigation or vulnerability). Counts of source indicators were automatically extracted so that eachindicator can be assessed in terms of how many countries mentioned it andin how many sources.United Nations Statistics Division

Towards the global set of climate change indicators In the growing list of climate change indicators, there are approximately 6,822instances sourced from countries, grouped into five areas (Drivers, Impacts,Mitigation, Adaptation, and Vulnerability) consisting of around 150 indicators.Many of which are repeated across different countries and organizations. Indicators come from reports of M. of Env/NSOs, which contain country-relevantinformation, at least one national source has been taken from 103 countries.Besides, international and regional sources such as SDG indicators, FDES, IPCCreports and ECE have been taken into account to identify other key indicators. Most country-specific indicators come from State of Environment reports orUNFCCC National Communications/National Adaptation Plans. Data fromministries of energy, meteorology and natural resources also been considered. UNSD is identifying a list of the most commonly repeated indicators according tothe five areas of IPCC framework promoting a bottom-up approach to theselection of indicators and will continue this compilation from more countries. After improvement of the indicator names, correspondence to SDGs and FDESstatistics were mapped, but further work is neededUnited Nations Statistics Division

Further work on the global set of climate change indicators(contd) Develop and conduct a Pilot Survey to test the draft Global Set of ClimateChange Statistics and Indicators (by end of 2019) Analyze results of Pilot Survey to develop survey for the Global Consultation(early 2020) Conduct Global Consultation with all Member States in 2020 and report tothe Statistical Commission in 2021. The purpose of the Global Consultation, including that it is not intended tocollect data, will be clearly explained to countries. It will also be stated in theGlobal Consultation that it is an indicator framework to assess primarily therelevance, methodological soundness and availability of indicators to derive aGlobal Set of Climate Change Statistics and Indicators, and not an additionalreporting burden. The accompanying letter will include an introduction onwhy a set of climate change indicators is needed, i.e., that it has beenrequested from countries under the mandate of the Statistical Commission. A work plan outlining all the steps and activities will be developed by UNSDin collaboration with the Expert Group.United Nations Statistics Division
