Waste sector Table 6- Agency take total amount of collected municipal waste ( not just part indicated as household waste) Differences regarding % of population whose waste is being disposed in landfills and factors waste per capita/day

8. Air emissions accounts / Greenhouse gas inventories The air emissions accounts are one of several physical modules of the Eurostat’s programme of environmental economic accounts. They are covered in the Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 on the environmental economic accounts. Differences these two approaches :  Classification of economic activities (NACE) / common technology-oriented category  Territorial principle employed

9. Current situation: The lack of understanding the importance and necessity of establishing environmental economic accounts in key institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina; lack of inter-institutional cooperation; the absence of a functioning network data management; leads to: No sustainable data for decision making and reaching sustainable development goals!
