This report to the CBD by Finland indicates a relatively strong commitment of all sectors and stakeholders to the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).

The overall development of the indicators and reporting of the trends have been evaluated in a similar fashion as those in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005).
