Green Economy

Measures the amount of waste (in kg, hazardous and non-hazardous, but excluding radioactive waste) generated and treated per MSME per year, disaggregated by type of waste, treatment type and sector (International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities - ISIC). This includes waste from waste treatment. Data from this indicator can provide indication of end-of-pipe sustainability of human production activities. Data is not available for developing countries - baseline and endline surveys have to be conducted and budgeted by the EU-funded intervention.

SDG Indicator 9.4.1. Tier I. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per unit value added is an indicator computed as ratio between CO2 emissions from fuel combustion and the value added of associated economic activities. The indicator can be computed for the whole economy (total CO2 emissions/GDP) or for specific sectors, notably the manufacturing sector (CO2 emissions from manufacturing industries per manufacturing value added - MVA). CO2 emissions per unit of GDP are expressed in kilogrammes of CO2 per USD constant 2017 PPP GDP. CO2 emissions from manufacturing industries per unit of MVA are measured in kilogrammes of CO2 equivalent per unit of MVA in constant 2015 USD. Carbon emission per unit of value added is a universal indicator for measuring the impact of industrial production on environment. It captures the intensity of energy use, energy efficiency of production technology and most importantly use of fossil fuels. According to the UNIDO definition used for SDG indicator 9.4.1., carbon emission is estimated from the data on energy consumption.

SDG indicator 8.4.1 and 12.2.1. has three units of measure, including tonnes, tonnes per capita and per unit of GDP (kilograms per constant United States dollar). Please note that as of March 2021, this is a Tier II indicator with methodology agreed only at global level and not yet for country-level monitoring (though UNEP data is available also for some countries). Material Footprint (MF) is the attribution of global material extraction to domestic final demand of a country. The total material footprint is the sum of the material footprint for biomass, fossil fuels, metal ores and non-metal ores.

Provides a measure of the efficiency a country's economy (as a whole or by sector) has in using freshwater for production activities (thus indirectly measures the amount of water use reduced or avoided per unit of value added). It is measured as GDP (usually in constant US$ prices) divided by annual total freshwater withdrawal (measured in cubic meters per year).

Change in net income of direct and indirect beneficiaries as a result of the EU-funded intervention between two points in time (i.e., two distinct years). For a firm, net income is defined as gross sales minus cost of sales, including cost of goods sold. For an individual, net income includes total wages/salaries or profit from self-employment.

The concept of earnings, as applied in wages statistics, relates to gross remuneration. Earnings exclude employers’ contributions in respect of their employees paid to social security and pension schemes and also the benefits received by employees under these schemes. Earnings also exclude severance and termination pay. Data are disaggregated by economic activity according to the latest version of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) available for that year. For more detail, please see: https://ilostat.ilo.org/topics/wages/

Measures the number of people employed, disaggregated by sex, age (and persons with disabilities) - as share of the total employment in a country's economy - in the sector(s) (using the ISIC classification) being subject of projects / programme interventions. Employed persons are persons of working age who, during the reference period, were in the following categories: a) paid employment (whether at work or with a job but not at work); or b) self-employment (whether at work or with an enterprise but not at work).

Measures the amount of money invested in green projects (e.g. energy and material efficiency) by MSMEs or other investors, as a result of EU-funded interventions at the end of the intervention period. This indicator is related to the impact indicators "Material Footprint (MF) per unit of value added avoided or reduced (t/$)" and "CO2 emission per unit of value added avoided or reduced (t CO2/$)"

Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED) Standard Indicator. The indicator measures the total amount of outstanding loans that have been provided to MSMEs, by examining the amount of outstanding loans in the portfolio of relevant financial intermediaries at the end of their fiscal year and the annual volume of new loans disbursed/made during the year.

This EURF indicator has been narrowed down to monitor only Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) investing in Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) with EU support. For more information about the EURF indicators, please see the methodological notes at https://europa.eu/capacity4dev/eu-rfi

This indicator measures the amount of sales of environmentally certified products divided by total sales of all products sold by Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Data can relate to either specific firms targeted in the EU-funded intervention or to the market share of certified products in a targeted value chain.

Compared to the pre-intervention baseline, this indicator measures direct changes in the energy, water and material resources' costs incurred by MSMEs as a result of EU-funded interventions. This indicator provides an indication of the extent to which implementing Sustainable Consumption Production (SCP) practices contributes to sustainable economic development.

Measures the number of MSMEs receiving direct assistance from an EU-funded intervention that have increased the volume of their turnover.

Measures the number of (green) jobs sustained/created in the sector, value chain or company targeted by the intervention at the end of the intervention period, converted to full-time equivalent. This includes individuals employed by target companies (direct jobs) as well as jobs indirectly related to the intervention (impact on indirect beneficiaries).

This is based on a DCED Standard indicator. Further details also available at: http://www.enterprise-development.org/what-works-and-why/evidence-frame…;

Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED) Standard Indicator. The indicator measures the number of MSMEs in a particular value chain intervention that meet agreed upon sustainability standards and obtain formal certification in sustainability practices. These can be at the national or international level (e.g., ISO, organic, fair-trade, FSC). Entities can include individuals or firms depending on nature of the intervention. In the agribusiness sector, the individuals are typically smallholder farmer households or wage workers. "Farming" includes crop production, forestry, animal production, aquaculture and fisheries.
