Users and Uses of Environmental Accounts: A Review of Select Developed Countries

This report summarizes the results of a review of countries that have the longest histories of work in the field. The review demonstrates clearly that environmental accounts are policy-relevant.

In others, they feed into analytical research that either leads to policy action or assesses the success of that action
