Countries have highlighted the need for support to create national targets and indicators linked to Aichi targets 1, 2 and 4 under strategic goal A of the global Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and Action 7 of the Pan-European 2020 Strategy for Biodiversity. Therefore, there is a request from countries to build capacity for a better understanding of ecosystem services and their values and how to integrate these values into policy making through their NBSAPs.
