This publication gives an overview of Statistic Norway's work of compiling national statistics on natural resources and environmental issues, and developing methods and models for analysing trends in the extraction and use of natural resources and changes in the state of the environment. In particular, the study focuses on relationships between these factors and other socio-economic developments.

This report provides an updated presentation of indicators that illustrate aspects of the government's priority areas for environmental policy and it proposes a national set of indicators for sustainable development. This is followed by detailed descriptions of various topics, which include both statistics and analyses. Finally, the appendix provides more detailed statistics in the form of tables.

From Natural Resources and Environmental Accounting to Construction of Indicators for Sustainable Development
This paper describes various management tools and indicators for sustainable development and provides some lessons drawn from Norwegian experiences. It recommends that, regardless of the information collected and organised to support decision-making processes, the final outcome should always be judged in terms of its impacts on policy processes.
