The UNCEEA was established by the UN Statistical Commission at its 36th session in March 2005. The UNCEEA has the following three broad objectives: |
 | Mainstream environmental-economic accounts and related statistics |
| Elevate the System of Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA) to an international statistical standard |
| Advance the implementation of the SEEA in countries |
|
To achieve these objectives, the UNCEEA programme of work focuses on: |
| Coordination of programmes in environment-economic accounts and related statistics among international agencies and countries |
| Implementation of the SEEA in countries around the world and promotion of its use in support of government policy |
| Furthering methodologies by identifying and prioritising critical issues, establishing appropriate mechanisms to address those issues, monitoring progress, reviewing proposed solutions and submitting recommendations to the United Nations Statistical Commission |
| Harmonization of data collection activities of environment and related statistics with concepts and definitions of environmental-economic accounts |
