The target is taken from the target source as shown in the table on the left. This is the internationally agreed target for this indicator and country. Most targets are the same for all countries, but some may have different values for each country. Some indicators have no internationally agreed targets.
The threshold is taken from the same source where available. The threshold is an easier value than the target but shows good progress in achieving the target. For more details, go to ‘Find out more about indicator and sources’ via the Indicators page. |
 |
The projection line is calculated by a linear regression using the latest 5 data points (e.g. years in which data values are available). If there are less than 5 data points then no projection is calculated.
The colour of the line is defined by the target and threshold values. If the projected value meets or exceeds the target then the line is coloured green, if the projected value lies between the target and the threshold value then it is yellow, otherwise red. For more details, go to ‘Find out more about indicator and sources’ via the Indicators page. |
