Title: System of environmental-economic accounting 2012
Description: "Comparable and reliable data supporting coherent analytical and policy frameworks are essential elements to inform debates and guide policy related to the relationship between the economy and the environment. The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting 2012--Applications and Extensions (SEEAA Applications and Extensions) provides examples of potential uses of environmental-economic accounts for policy and research. SEEA Applications and Extensions supplements the conceptual framework presented in the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting 2012--Central Framework (SEEAA Central Framework). It has been produced and is released under the auspices of the United Nations, the European Commission, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and the World Bank Group. The United Nations Committee of Experts on Environmental-Economic Accounting (UNCEEA) managed and coordinated the work as mandated by the Statistical Commission at its thirty-eighth session in 2007. Representatives of national statistical offices and international organizations made valuable contributions. The draft chapters of the document were posted on the website of the United Nations Statistics Division for worldwide review, thereby achieving full transparency during the drafting process. At its forty-fourth session in 2013, the United Nations Statistical Commission welcomed the SEEA Applications and Extensions as a useful contribution to illustrating possible applications of the SEEA Central Framework."--Foreword, page vii.
