Data Reporting Tool for MEAS - DaRT

A national working space to collect, organize and share information

DaRT provides Parties to MEAs with a private and secure working space to organize, share, and maintain information, data and knowledge across conventions and across reporting purposes.

By providing a single national working space to Parties, DaRT facilitates the re-use of information in the spirit of “enter once, re-use several times”, relieves the reporting burden and fosters communication and cooperation across ministries.

Integrating national biodiversity information in one place is also of value in the context of analyzing information against the SDGs and ultimately demonstrating the contribution of the implementation of biodiversity-related MEAs towards the Agenda 2030.

Building on global strategies to facilitate reporting

The Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets, its recognition and support by the governing bodies of the biodiversity-related conventions (BRC) as well as their call to Parties to integrated respective goals and targets in their National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs) establishes  a flexible universal framework for action on biodiversity. This framework of interrelated goals and targets across conventions and from the global, regional to the national level, provides a solid framework to organize national information to suit the needs of national reporting under various processes – as proposed by the DaRT.

The STRATEGY section provides an overview of interlinked global goals and targets.

Using synergies with other tools to provide Parties with data

Multiple tools were created to support Parties in implementing the conventions and to report thereon. DaRT aims at providing Parties with a single entry point to the tools and, in the medium term to develop interoperability with these tools.

A selection of it is included in the TOOLS page.
