London Group on Environmental Accounting, 30th Meeting

The London Group on Environmental Accounting is a city group of the United Nations Statistical Commission established in 1993 to provide a forum for practitioners to share their experience of developing and implementing environmental accounts. Members of the London group are experts primarily from national statistical agencies but also international organizations. The London Group generally meets annually, and the meetings provide a forum for review, comparison and discussion of work underway by participants towards development of environmental accounts.
The 30th meeting of the London Group on Environmental Accounting (LG) was hosted by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) from 30 September to 3 October 2024 in Washington D.C., United States of America.
The main focus of the 2024 LG meeting was to discuss issues related to the update of the SEEA Central Framework thus contributing to the update process.
