Environmental Goods and Services Sector Accounts — Handbook (2016 ed.)

The environmental goods and services sector accounts is one of the European environmental-economic accounts and it is the ideal framework to collect data on value added and employment for the environmental sector. This handbook, produced by Eurostat, aims to support the data compilers in the process of data collection, compilation and reporting to Eurostat by explaining the underlying conceptual framework (including the scope, definitions and classifications), recalling the reporting obligations under Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 and suggesting possible applications and presentations of the results.
