Organizer(s): Eurostat Sogeti

Description: Objectives of the course: (a) provide an overview of how national ecosystem accounts are constructed, and how they relate to ‘mainstream’ national accounting (e.g. Gross Domestic Product); (b) provide understanding the data and tools used to construct the component parts of the accounts (e.g. spatial and environmental data in GIS for ecosystem extent; ecosystem services evidence; monetary valuation techniques).

Target Audience: National statistical bodies, environment departments and other national public environment bodies involved in constructing national ecosystem accounts. ESTP Trainings are open to non-ESS members if capacity allows after ESS needs are fulfilled.

Topics: System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (CSA 20105) Environmental conditions and quality (CSA 301)
