Environmental - Economic Accounting
23 February 2009, 10:00 - 1:00 pm
Conference Room 3
United Nations, New York
The Learning Center on Environmental-Economic Accounting offers an opportunity for statistical managers to obtain a more in depth understanding of the concepts and methods of environmental-economic accounting. Ample time will be reserved for a question-and-answer session on how to move forward this new and emerging area of statistics and mainstream it within the national statistical system.
The Learning Center will provide a general overview of the basic concepts of environmental-economic accounting and its links to the System of National Accounts, its policy relevance in particular for resource productivity, climate change and natural resource management. It will also present the main issues being addressed as part of the revision process of the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA).
The Learning Center will elaborate on the specific modules of the SEEA, in particular on water accounting, energy accounting and material flow accounting. Each session will put to the fore the challenges of implementation of the SEEA ranging from the organization of the institutional architecture to the statistical infrastructure.

Conference on Climate Change and Official Statistics
Conference on Climate Change and Official Statistics
Oslo, Norway
14 – 16 April 2008
The United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), in collaboration with the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat), the World Bank and Statistics Norway, convened an international conference on climate change and official statistics.
Climate change is high on the political agenda at all levels. The global official statistics community presently engages the issues of climate change in an ad hoc manner. Some national statistical offices are heavily engaged and provide all official estimates required in the monitoring efforts. Some engage only in analytical efforts, principally to investigate the effects of mitigation protocols on national economy or the impact of climate change in planning scenarios. Many others have no activities at all related to this topic. There is a need to discuss how official statistics can contribute to the measurement and monitoring of the different aspects of climate change and to bring together all current activities into a coherent framework. This conference is therefore designed as a forum for the exploration of ideas and to establish an agenda for future work.
The output of the conference will be an agenda for action by the global official statistics community. The agenda will be submitted to the 40th session of the UN Statistical Commission for discussion and endorsement in 2009.
