1. Present Status and Future Development of the Dutch NAMEA Dr. ir. Rutger Hoekstra Statistics Netherlands rhka@cbs.nl

2. Presentation • Environmental accounts • NAMEA/NAMWA • Applications • Future projects

3. Environmental accounts Economy National Accounts System of National Accounts (SNA, 1993) European System of Accounts (ESA, 1995) Environmental accounting Environment Environmental statistics System of Environmental and Economic Accounts (SEEA, 2003)

4. Environmental accounts • Satelite of the National Accounts • Resident principle • Attribution of pollutants to economic activities • System of Environmental and Economic Accounts (SEEA) 2003 • Summary of different types of accounts • Methodology and best practices

6. Environmental accounts • Physical flow accounts • Environmental related transactions • (environmental costs, environmental taxes) • Environmental asset accounts • (forest, fishery, subsoil accounts) • 4. Adjustment of SNA to account for the impact of the economy on the environment (DNI)

7. NAMEA • Started in 1991 • 11 emission and 2 extraction categories • 8 themes • Greenhouse effect (CO2 equivalents) • Ozone depletion (CFK11 equivalents) • Acidification (Acification equivalents) • Eutrophication (Eutrophication equivalents) • Waste (kg) • Waste water (inhabitant equivalents) • Change in natural resources (kg) • Fossil fuel use (PJ) • Environmental taxes, subsidies and costs • Annual • Consistent & internationally accepted

8. NAMWA • Pilot project in 1997 • Regular production started in 2002 • 9 emission categories & water balance • 3 themes • Eutrophication • Heavy metals • Waste water • Annual

9. NAMEA-matrix

10. NAMEA-Origin of pollutants

11. NAMEA-Destination of pollutants

12. NAMEA Data sources • Emission registration system (Air, water) • Surveys (Waste, recycling, environmental expenditures, environmental report) • Material balance sheets for nutrients, toxic substances • Energy statistics • National accounts

13. Applications • Environmental decoupling indicators • Modeling • Input-output modeling • Impact analysis • Imputation to final demand categories • Structural Decomposition Analysis • General Equilibrium Modeling • Green National Income • Other Macro-economic models • Improvement of National Accounts
