EEA March 2005 Expert meeting on landscape analysis & ecosystem accounting Environmental accounts: 5 key policy questions 1.Cost of environmental protection the burden issue oCost for public budgets: financing of protection (incl. administration and research) oCost for companies: effects on economic competitiveness 2.Environmental performance of the economy the decoupling issue oCompliance to national emission standards, respect of international conventions oDistances to targets, economic and technological options oUse of scarce resource oSustainability of consumption patterns 3.Cost of insufficient environmental protection the externalities issue oDepletion of renewable resources (forest, fisheries, water…) oDegradation of natural assets (forests, fisheries, soil, water, ecosystems…) oImpacts on human health and well being oCosts of remediation (instead of protection…) 4.Conservation of comparative advantages the natural capital issue oReserves (ownership, access, operation) oEconomic rents on natural resources (depletion…) oViability of living/cycling natural capital, continuity of ecosystem services oAdaptability to change (global market, climate change, technology) 5.Assessment of policies the effectiveness/efficiency issue oEfficiency/effectiveness of environmental policies and instruments oEfficiency/effectiveness of environmental sector policies (agriculture, transport…) oEnvironmental impact assessment of social and economic policies oIncorporation of environmental concerns in the multiple levels of public and private decision-making (participation, awareness, corporate accounting)

EEA March 2005 Expert meeting on landscape analysis & ecosystem accounting Economic-environmental accounts (seea2003) National accounts: oEconomic natural assets (Sub-soil, forest (managed), agriculture land…) oEnvironmental protection expenditures Hybrid accounts: oConsumption of natural resource by sectors/branches oEmissions by sectors/branches (NAMEA…) Material flows accounts Natural assets accounts oForests (incl. native) oFisheries oWater oLand & ecosystems Pricing and valuation

EEA March 2005 Expert meeting on landscape analysis & ecosystem accounting Classification of Functions An account is a tool which records, for a given aspect of economic life, (a) the uses and resources or (b) the changes in assets and the changes in liabilities and/or (c) the stock of assets and liabilities existing at a certain time; the transactions accounts include a balancing item which is used to equate the two sides of the accounts (e.g. resources and uses) and which is a meaningful measure of economic performance in itself. eg Economic performance indicators: value added; salaries; operating surplus (profit); savings; change in assets & liabilities Functions: compilation of expenditures according to purpose, to objectives, to social needs
