1. The 2020 Target Cross-linking Tool A development driven by the BISE – Clearing House Mechanisms (CHMs) network Europe

2. TCT - The Target Cross- linking Tool  A solution for multiple target reporting  A stand alone application – free of charge- to be completely “owned” by user countries  Languages : national and English  Ready with Aichi targets and EU targets already integrated in English

3. Present functionalities  Each of the objectives / sub- objectives of the National Biodiversity Strategy can be mapped with an Aichi Goal, the most relevant Aichi target and the relevant EU target.  Each of the Actions to be implemented at the national level can be mapped in relation to an objective / sub- objectives of the National Biodiversity Strategy.

4. Future development requirements  Prepare and test how to include a new level of national indicators and allow cross linking them to national targets  Show and export per EU and Aichi target what was mapped from national information  Consider facilitation of reporting to CBD and other Multinational Environmental Agreements Substantial number of interested countries needed to justify further investment.  An EIONET- CHM network consultation to be organised by EEA later in 2014.
