Definition: Environmental accounts

Category: European System of Accounts (ESA)

Elaborate accounting framework for describing and analysing the environment and its interactions with the economy. The environmental accounts are a satellite account of the national accounts. This implies that the same classifications and concepts are used; modifications are introduced only where it is necessary for the purpose of environmental accounts. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/product?code=KS-02-13-269&mode=view United Nations  - Statistics Division, "System of Environmental and Economic Accounts SEEA 2000", New York, January 2002
