Implementation tools

A number of materials have been developed to assist countries in the implementation of the SEEA:

1. The Implementation Guide and Diagnostic Tool provides an overview of the steps necessary to introduce a national program of work on environmental-economic accounting.
2. Technical Notes are currently being developed to provide a 20-25 page summary of the key considerations when setting up a specific set of accounts, such as water or energy accounts.
3. More detailed information, including the SEEA Manuals, international recommendations and compilation manuals can be found here.
