Sub-indicator a) Official development assistance on conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity This sub-indicator is represented by series option "Total official development assistance for biodiversity, by recipient countries". Official Development Assistance (ODA) - Resource flows to developing countries and multilateral organisations provided by official agencies (e.g. the UK Government) or their executive agencies. Each transaction is administered for the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries and is concessional in character. More information on ODA can be found on the OECD website. ODA recipients are broken down in groups according to their Gross National Income (GNI) per capita. Country income classification - The Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list of countries eligible to receive ODA is based on Gross National Income per capita as published by the World Bank. All low and middle income countries are included, with the exception of G8 members, EU members, and countries with a firm date for entry into the EU. The list also includes all Least Developed Countries (LDCs) as defined by the United Nations (UN). LDCs - Least Developed Countries LMICs - Lower Middle Income Countries UMICs - Upper Middle Income Countries Other LICs - Other Low Income Countries Undefined - ODA that cannot be allocated to a single country Sub-indicator b) Revenue generated and finance mobilised from biodiversity-relevant economic instruments This sub-indicator is represented by series options "Tax revenue from biodiversity-relevant taxes" and "Tax revenue from biodiversity-relevant taxes out of total tax revenue" Biodiversity-relevant taxes - Revenue raised from taxes and auctioning of tradable permits directed at biodiversity. |

Sub-indicator a) Official development assistance on conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity Values given are the sum of all UK amount extended (gross) ODA in a target year that have a SectorPurposeCode (CRScode) = 41030. This code relates to ODA flows that have biodiversity as a principal objective. The underlying data can be found in the "Data underlying the SID publication" dataset available from the link in the Sources tab (Source 1)
Sub-indicator b) Revenue generated and finance mobilised from biodiversity-relevant economic instruments No calculations were required as data are available straight from the OECD database (Source 2). |

Sub-indicator b) Revenue generated and finance mobilised from biodiversity-relevant economic instruments Further information on Tax revenue from biodiversity-relevant economic instruments is available in the Environmentally related tax revenue Dataset Documentation (PDF 0.18 MB). Other environmentally related tax revenue are available from the source, in addition to further units (percentage of environmentally related tax revenue, USD 2015 Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), and USD 2015 PPP per capita). Further information on taxes and the associated tax revenue is available on the OECD Policy Instruments for the Environment (PINE) database. Data follows the UN specification for this indicator.
