Resumen
Descripción
The recognition that economies are
embedded within and dependent on nature is growing, with
nature itself being seen as an asset to the economy. As the
impacts of climate and biodiversity crises become more
evident, policymakers are seeking robust measurements that
integrate environmental and economic data, going beyond GDP.
The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA)
supports this by measuring the interdependence of the
economy and the environment. In March 2021, the United
Nations Statistical Commission adopted the SEEA Ecosystem
Accounting (SEEA EA) as an international standard for
ecosystem accounting. This framework presents principles and
recommendations for valuing ecosystem services and assets,
reflecting environmental degradation in balance sheets as a
cost to economic growth. SEEA EA will inform national
policies and international initiatives, including the
Sustainable Development Goals, the Kunming-Montreal Global
Biodiversity Framework, and the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change, among others.
