This consultation aims to achieve a common understanding of the London Group's new governance structure and its role in the revision process of the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) in November 2006. The outcome includes discussions on the LG governance structure and its mandate, as well as the revision of SEEA and LG's role in it. The London Group meeting in Johannesburg and UNCEEA meeting in July will further discuss these issues and provide outcomes, including a revised SEEA structure and project management framework.
