Information Paper: Towards the Australian Environmental-Economic Accounts responds to the growing demand for integrated environmental-economic information and reflects an emerging maturity within the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) environmental statistics program. This release uses a themes-based presentation to showcase the range of ABS environmental accounts which include: Water Account, Australia; Energy Account, Australia; Waste Account, Australia (Experimental Estimates); and others.
Information Paper: Towards the Australian Environmental-Economic Accounts also provides a depth of commentary to explain environmental accounts and to describe their potential to inform environmental policy decisions. It is a prelude to the initial release of a new annual publication Australian Environmental-Economic Accounts later this year, which will be more data-focussed.
