Environment statistics

We are developing high quality statistics and indicators for environmental monitoring. Work in this area includes:
  • Development of methodologies and practical guidance 
  • Capacity building to support the production of environmental statistics and indicators

The work contributes to countries’ efforts to implement Shared Environmental Information Systems (SEIS) and the System of Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA). A good set of environment statistics is essential for measuring the environment-related SDGs 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14 and 15.
