EU bioeconomy monitoring system indicator update 2021

Метаданни за публикацията

The conceptual framework of the EU Bioeconomy Monitoring System was constructed to assess the EU’s progress towards a circular and sustainable bioeconomy. It was envisioned to cover the three dimensions of sustainability: environment, society and economy. Indicators were selected to cover the various parts of the framework but gaps in the knowledge or data still exist. This document describes the progress made in filling gaps in the indicators that had been identified as being important to understand the progress of the EU Bioeconomy. In 2021, two gaps were addressed: Social impacts of trade and the share of renewable energy in bio-based industries (BBI). It was found that although robust indicators exist to monitor the social condition in countries that are trading with the EU, it is not a straightforward task to monitor the social impact of trade. The attribution of the social condition to EU trading is not clearcut because it would require data collected at the local/sectoral level, which would then need to be triangulated with changes in the volume of trade with the EU and related to that specific location. In the absence of local indicators that are country-specific, one cannot infer that “social spillovers” are happening because of a specific trade agreement. It is however possible to re-frame the question to acknowledge the overall vulnerability of trading countries. In this way the monitoring system, although unable to track progress towards higher positive impacts on trading countries, can track the overall progress in those trading countries. The JRC therefore proposes to publish the recommended indicators for the countries whose main trading partner has been or currently is the EU for a time period between 2000 to the latest available data. These indicators are sourced from international sources such as the International Labour Organisation. Regarding renewable share of energy for bio-based industries, this indicator is developed to understand the trends in share of renewable energy for bio-based industries (BBI). BBI aims to decarbonise the economy and reduce the dependency on non-renewable resources, and should therefore have the same or even higher standards for their use of renewable sources of energy with respect to other industries.
