This indicator shows the area of transboundary surface water bodies and aquifers under operational agreements. Note that Iceland is an island and contains no transboundary waters, so the proportion is set at 0%.

For more information about this indicator, see the UNECE publication.

This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Iceland statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Icelandic statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Icelandic-specific metadata information.
