The indicators of achievement are a means of measuring progress towards such accomplishments during the budget period.

In the reporting guidelines, indicators and their scale of operation as measurements should be carefully noted and precautions taken if indicator measurements are aggregated to a wider landscape.

The measure of restriction must be proportional with the situation that determined it, must be applied without discrimination and without affecting the existence of the respective right.

Each formula is valid for a certain range of values of the driving factor: for example, the formula for operational planning and coordination is valid when the total number of authorized mission personnel is greater than 30,000, which is at the low end of the scale for which data were available, or fewer than 170,000, which is approximately 20 per cent above the top end of the scale for which data were available.

In those cases, other methods should be used – e.g. in lack of better data - climatic simulations using meso scale models could be used.

Italy indicated that integrated climate models are needed that allow for downscaling of global climate change scenarios, and that impact analyses should be focused on future impacts of climate change rather than on the assessment of past events.

Such duplication could be avoided by harmonising differences in standards and criteria in search and examination procedures.

On the basis of image sequences from satellites such as the Earth Probe total ozone mapping spectrometer (EP/TOMS) and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument on the Aura satellite, it was possible to determine that dust transport from the Sahara over the Atlantic to the Caribbean and Cuba is associated with synoptic-scale processes and shows marked stationarity and a well-defined time-space progression, which is very similar to the time-space progression of dust storm occurrence over the Sahara and Sahel.

Please employ a 5-point scale: 1 for "very unimportant", 3 for "neither important nor unimportant", 5 for "very important".

The assessment contained in the present report offers four yardsticks to measure progress on sustainable development since 1992: “separate”, i.e., changes in indicators of each of the three dimensions of sustainable development; “joint”, i.e., movement towards convergence between these dimensions; “commitments”, i.e., fulfilment of international and national commitments; and “contextual”, i.e., progress in comparison with the longer term challenge.

Quantum mechanics is counterintuitive and we make compromises, such as using Newtonian mechanics in our simulations to deal with them on a practical time scale,” Kuiper explains.

For UNOPS, at its current stage of organizational maturity, a fully replenished operational reserve represents a significant measure of the organization’s financial sustainability and the viability of its business model as a fully selffinancing service provider in the United Nations.

As potential buyers seem to become more concerned with quality and origin of offsets than with price, the various standards and their criteria should be considered at an early stage of an eventual project planning.

We cannot and we do not hold Afghanistan to the measure of long-standing, mature democracies, but we are disappointed that, in some areas, the elections could not be conducted because of security concerns and we are concerned at reports of widespread voter fraud.

At the same time, the yardstick of success cannot be openness and transparency per se, but the extent to which they improve the Council’s ability to fulfil its responsibility for maintaining international peace and security.
