State of the Environment Reporting: A Framework and Indicators for the Columbia Basin

“This is the final report from a contract to provide the Columbia Basin Trust with an initiation point for State of the Environment reporting within the British Columbia portion of the Columbia Basin. In this report, we develop a framework for environmental reporting, with the focus of attention on a suite of indicators and a summary of data sources that can form the mainstay of an environment report. Additionally, we provide linkages to the broader form of sustainability reporting, of which environmental reporting is only one component. Developing an Action Plan to assist CBT in moving forward with SoE reporting and ultimately sustainability reporting is a key focus throughout this report.” (Taken from introduction.)

This report includes a Summary Action Plan, discussion of indicators and measures, the development and prioritization of specific indicators for the Columbia Basin, and linking those indicators to a larger sustainability planning and reporting framework.
