What is the City Biodiversity Index?

The CBI, also known as the Singapore Index, was developed by Singapore as a tool for cities to use to create a biodiversity baseline for their city.

The City Biodiversity Index (CBI) or the Singapore Index on Cities’ Biodiversity (SI) is a self-assessment tool for cities to evaluate and monitor the progress of their biodiversity conservation efforts against their own individual baselines, which is currently in the form of a handbook.

Part 01:

Profile of the city

The profile of the city will include important general information on the city, and in particular, details of the biodiversity found within, in order to set the background of the city and to place the city’s evaluation for the Index in the proper perspective. It is important that other information not captured in the indicators be provided to give a more holistic picture of the native biodiversity that can be found in the city.

Part 02:

28 Indicators

The 28 indicators that measure native biodiversity, ecosystem services provided by biodiversity, and governance and management of biodiversity based on guidelines and methodology provided in the Handbook on the Singapore Index on Cities’ Biodiversity.
