Identify the actions with the biggest impacts

With custom metrics you can monitor where you stand and how much still needs to be done to reach the goals. The indicators can reveal the bottlenecks and show which actions are most effective in reducing emissions. Agreeing on indicators and target levels helps to make sure that the climate strategy is actually implemented successfully.
