WAVES in pilot countries
{"Image DocumentName": "WAVES in pilot countries", "Image ImageDescription": "Ensure that the \u2018core\u2019 environmental accounts (those proposed as a statistical standard next year) are in place. Expand to ecosystem accounts, i.e., National accounts data for a geographic area defined by an ecosystem concept rather than administrative or political boundary, e.g., watershed. include some of the \u2018regulating\u2019 services identified by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment-- that are largely already in national accounts, but not explicit, such as hydrological services of forests. Accounts need to be. based on physical accounts for land. spatially explicit. Monetary accounts need to use appropriate valuation methodology. include distribution of benefits to different stakeholder groups. Take a scenario approach to asset accounts\u2014that require projections about the future state of natural capital and its economic value\u2014 considering the stocks and their value under alternative futures, such as climate change or alternative management regimes. WAVES will use the SEEA in its country work and will work closely with the organizations established by the UN Statistical commission (the UNCEEA and the London Group), both during implementation of environmental accounting in \u2018pilot\u2019 countries, and for the development of methodology. Make sure that the \u2018core\u2019 environmental accounts\u2014what will be proposed as a statistical standard next year\u2014are in place in pilot countries. Expand this to ecosystem accounts where relevant. This means we will include both physical and monetary accounts, where feasible. Land (and seascape) accounts are the key to ecosystem accounts. Spatially explicit accounts. For asset accounts\u2014that require projections about the future state of natural capital and its economic value\u2014we are likely to take a scenario approach, considering the stocks and their value under alternative futures, for example, as affected by climate change or different management regimes.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
