Environmental-economic accounts provide the conceptual framework for measuring the impacts of the economy on the environment, the contribution of the environment to the economy and the state of the environment. A coherent set of indicators and descriptive statistics can be derived from the accounts that inform a wide range of policies, including but not limited to green economy/green growth, natural resource management and more broadly sustainable development. |
The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) is the statistical framework that provides internationally agreed concepts, definitions, classifications, accounting rules and standard tables for producing internationally comparable statistics on the environment and its relationship with the economy. The SEEA is a flexible system in the sense that its implementation can be adapted to countries' specific situations and priorities. |
