Introduction

This Dashboard allows users to visualize data and information submitted by Parties in their national reports pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article 13 of the Basel Convention.

The information accessible through the Dashboard is that made available by Parties in their national reports and is shown as received, without editing. National reports are submitted by the focal points for the Basel Convention. Contact details of focal points can be found here.

The outline used in the left-side menu is based on the reporting questionnaire used by Parties when submitting their national reports, which is divided into Questions and Tables.
