The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) produces statistics on a wide range of environment and energy related activities. The ABS Centre for Environment and Energy Statistics (CEES) seeks to complement and add value to existing statistical activity through active partnerships with key agencies, including the states and territories.

In collaboration with others, CEES aims to:
  • Provide leadership in the development of environmental and energy statistics in Australia
  • Coordinate statistical activities across various sectors to develop frameworks and standards and improve data quality, comparability and coverage
  • Improve the understanding of trends and current issues, particularly across sectors, through its own analysis, and by supporting analysis by others
  • Compile environmental accounts – water and energy
  • Research, develop and test new environment and energy surveys
  • Continue the popular time-series publication on household data, which covers people's behaviours regarding water, energy and transport use and household waste management
  • Produce a ‘thematic’ publication presenting information on contemporary environmental issues and areas of public and policy concern.

A full list of ABS Environmental and Energy publications can be found on the Environment Statistics by catalogue number web page.
