We use certain indicators to track the progress in each priority area of Auckland's Climate Plan. These indicators help us measure how well we are achieving our climate goals.
How we measure progress for the natural environment priority
The main indicators of progress are called headline indicators. These provide information and insights about the areas where we have a strong focus and where we are taking action.
Headline indicators
The main (headline) indicators of progress for the natural environment priority are:
- average tree canopy cover in urban forests
- air quality on Queen Street, Auckland CBD.
Other indicators
- The state and quality of significant local, regional and national environments.
- Marine water quality.
- Freshwater quality.
Progress of all headline indicators is reported in the annual progress reports.
Progress of all other indicators is reported every three years.
