This working paper, presented at the first sub regional training workshop on environment statistics in Bangkok in 2000, summarizes information from (a) the Pilot Compilation of Environmental-Economic Accounts in Korea, (b) the Pilot Compilation of Environmental-Economic Accounts in the Korean Agricultural Sector, and (c) some general remarks on Korea Environmental Economic Accounting (KEEA).
This study conducts a valuation of non-marketed forest resources in Tanzania and proposes means for the generation of modified national accounts that would cover the full value of forest resource production and consumption.
This case study of Guyana aims to demonstrate a method of assessing the use-value of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), using an income accounting framework, in order to demonstrate an extra dimension to forest valuation that is often ignored.
This case study aims to establish the contribution of Ethiopian forests to national income by assessing the value added of the forestry sector, the contribution of forest ecosystems to other sectors, and the annual contribution of forest ecosystems to non-market income. Prior to this study, no full assessment of the income derived from forest-derived goods and services had been undertaken. The only figure available had been the official estimate of the contribution of the forestry industry to GDP (3.8% in 2012-13). By assessing the full contribution of forests to market and non-market income, a more complete picture of their economic importance emerges.
The study provides stakeholders with an indication of the true magnitude of the economic and natural capital costs associated with agricultural commodity production and presents a framework that can be used to measure the net environmental benefits associated with different agricultural management practices.
This study determines the economic value of the main ecosystem services provided by the natural resources of Bonaire, an island municipality of the Netherlands, as well as their overall importance to society. The particular challenge of this project was to deliver sound scientific insights that will guide decision-making regarding the protection of Bonaire’s ecosystems and the management of the island’s economy.
This case study evaluates the current and potential social and economic value of Virunga National Park, which is located in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The paper discusses a compilation of economic accounts for wild fish stocks. The methods proposed in the System of National Accounting (SNA) satellite system and the System for Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting (SEEA) are discussed and their usefulness is assessed through examples.
This paper sheds light on remaining controversies about whether and how to implement environmental accounting by means of nine country case studies: Norway, The Netherlands, Sweden, France, Canada, The Philippines, Namibia, Germany, and the United States.
The objective of this case study is to construct forest resource accounts for the state of Maharashtra, India, and incorporate the value of depletion and degradation of forest resources into the system of national accounts (SNA).
