United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). In addition, several
regional conventions cover forests.
(d) International Targets/Recommended Standards: There are no international
targets or standards set for size of forest or rate of deforestation. It is understood,
however, that the higher the deforestation rate, the more critical the environmental
impact might be in a country or region. Several countries have set targets for the
extent of their forest area, either in absolute values or as a percentage of the total land
area of the country.
(e) Linkages to Other Indicators: This indicator is linked to several social and
economic indicators, such as consumption of combustible renewables and waste
(CRW) per capita; share of CRW in energy mix, and in particular share of fuelwood
in CRW; and share of households or population without electricity or commercial
energy, or heavily dependent on non-commercial energy.
