Costa Rica's Environmental Accounts

The Banco Central de Costa Rica (BCCR) has compiled the first Costa Rican Environmental Accounts for Water, Forest and Energy. With these accounts, the physical and economic value of natural resources, as well as their relevance for national wealth, can be quantified in an integral manner. They likewise generate a series of indicators to analyze the supply and uses of natural resources and their interactions with various economic activities in the country, contributing to decision making in public policies.
