Concepts and Methods of Environment Statistics
The FDES was accompanied by two reports in 1988 and 1991 entitled Concepts
and Methods of Environment Statistics, one on human
settlements and the other on the natural
environment. These reports describe detailed sets of statistical variables
within the FDES; they are to facilitate the identification and selection of statistical
series for national and international data collection. Although the reports do
not make recommendations for the implementation of a statistical programme, they
provide a starting point for the identification of appropriate statistical series
and have been used by many countries for organizing environmental and related
socio-economic information. They have also been used for assessing data availability
or gaps in statistical programmes and selecting high priority statistics and
indicators.
