Introduction
The present glossary has been compiled from glossaries in Glossaries of Enviroment Statistics (United Nations publication, Sales No. E.96.XVII.12) and Handbook of National Accounting: Intergrated Environmental and Economic Acccounting -- An operational Manual (United Nations publication, Sales No. 00.XVII.17). To order these publications in print, go to publications
It covers the areas of environment statistics, environmental and sustainable
development indicators, and environmental accounting. In selecting the
terms, the focus has been on the requirements of environmental statisticians
and environmental accountants, with some reference to the possible use
of environmental data in management and policy analysis. While catering
to the needs of data producers, the glossary might thus also be useful
for data users.
The present glossary is an unofficial compilation from the sources cited and represents work in progress. Your contributions to its improvement would be greatly appreciated. Your coments should be sent to : envstats@un.org
