4. SELECTED EXAMPLES OF STATISTICS
AND INDICATORS

5. Data
Indicators
Reporting
• Coastal areas experience a variety of
climate-related hazards and climate change
is expected to exacerbate existing impacts
even more. This includes sea level rise,
coastal storm surges, ocean warming and
acidification, and changes to the hydrological
cycle.
• Population exposure to river floods at
different territorial levels was computed
using the Global Human Settlement Layer
Population grid linearly interpolated to 2020
based on 2000 and 2015.
• Other metrics exist: built-up area, cropland
area, land area. This can partially inform on
the risks on assets.

6. Data
Indicators
Reporting
• The number of policy instruments
directed at ocean sustainability is
increasing.
• Taxes remain the most widely
used, followed by fees and
charges, positive subsidies and
tradable permit schemes.
• The revenue generated by ocean-
related taxes remains very low at
the OECD level, amounting to
less than 1% of revenue from all
environmentally related taxes
combined.

7. Data
Indicators
Reporting
• The importance of protected area networks for marine
biodiversity and ecosystem services is recognised by
the Global Biodiversity Framework Target 2 (restoration
of degraded ecosystems) and 3 (conservation).
• Marine protected areas can help conserve and restore
habitats and species and ensure that marine and
coastal ecosystems continue to provide storm and
erosion protection, carbon storage, fisheries, recreation
and tourism opportunities, and other services.
• Other indicators: protected areas within 1km and 10km
of coastlines, % and sq.km

• 2000-2020, global coverage (200+ countries)
• 15 indicator groups, e.g. economic instruments (taxes, subsidies, ITQs), regulations
(marine/coastal protected areas), innovation (R&D, patents), marine bunkers CO2, etc.

• Geospatial analysis:
– Monitoring exposure to climate-
related hazards
– Marine and coastal protected
areas
– Coastal population
• Policy data:
– Policy instruments
– Fossil fuel support
– Environmentally harmful
fisheries subsidies
