Exploring Approaches for Constructing Species Accounts in the Context of the SEEA-EEA

This publication proposes an initial step-by-step process for developing spatial accounts of species status. Such ‘Species Accounts’ can be constructed as standalone accounts, or as part of the wider System of Environmental-Economic Accounting – Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA-EEA) process. It provides a framework for developing a minimum set of Species Accounts and mobilising the data they contain into summary statistics that reflect species diversity, fit with identified needs and are appropriate for end users.
