Abstract
GLTN and the Natural Resources Institute at the University of Greenwich are pleased to share this sourcebook, as a working paper, to assist with the operationalisation of GLII indicators at the country level. This sourcebook provides material for developing a handbook for implementing the land indicators at country level. The aim of the sourcebook is to set out material for further development, discussion and compilation into one or more operational handbooks that provide guidance on the steps required and approaches that can be applied for national stakeholders and collaborating partners to establish practical arrangements for data gathering, analysis and reporting against a harmonised set of land indicators. These indicators have been broadly agreed amongst multilateral, governmental and civil society agencies and with the GLII stakeholder platform, and include headline indicators (including 1.4.2) now agreed and incorporated in the framework for implementing the globally agreed Sustainable Development Goals by the UN Statistical Commission (UNSC)
