Methods of reviewing progress - policy monitoring

Reporting for this Public Service Agreement target is based on the four priority areas of sustainable consumption and production, climate change and energy, protection of our natural sources and enhancing the environment, and creating sustainable communities for a fairer world, as set out in the Strategy.

Progress is summarised by the number of component measures in the UK Government's indicators of sustainable development that are assessed as showing improvement, little or no change, or deterioration, using a traffic light system.

A detailed explanation of how the indicator measures contribute to the reporting for the Public Service Agreement target is provided in a technical note [889 KB], which can also be found on the policy monitoring data and resources page.
