The 2014 revised Guidelines for the Application of Environmental Indicators in Eastern Europe, Caucasus, Central Asia and South-Eastern Europe were made available online only. Each indicator is presented through three files: description of the indicator, table for the production of the indicator, and glossary of terms. The latest update for each indicator is indicated with a relevant date.
