The UN Committee of Experts on Environmental-Economic Accounting is working towards harmonising data collection activities on environment and related statistics with the concepts and definitions and classifications of environmental-economic accounting.
The Committee will work in close collaboration with the Inter-Secretariat Working Group on Environment Statistics and the Inter-Secretariat Working Group on Energy Statistics and the Oslo Group to identify differences and similarities between environment and related statistics questionnaires and accounting tables and devise a strategy to align the two. A similar exercise was undertaken in the case of water.
