21st Meeting of the UN Committee of Experts on Environmental-Economic Accounting

The UN Committee of Experts on Environmental-Economic Accounting (UNCEEA) was established by the United Nations Statistical Commission in 2005 to: (a) provide strategic vision in the field of environmental-economic accounting and related statistics; (b) mainstream environmental-economic accounting and related statistics into national statistical systems and policy and decision making; (c) maintain the System of Environmental and Economic Accounting (SEEA) and supporting documents through regular updates to ensure its relevance and coherence with other statistical standards; and (d) advance the implementation of the SEEA in countries.
The twenty-first meeting of the UNCEEA will take place virtually over three days on 15, 17 and 18 June 2026, from 7:00 to 9:30 a.m. EDT (NY time).
The agenda of this meeting is organized around the main areas of work of the Committee, namely, coordination and communication, methodological development for normative standards and other research, development of databases for the SEEA, and implementation and statistical capacity building.
