Environmental-Economic Accounts (EEA) are a statistical system that describes the interactions between the economy, society, and the environment.

Environmental accounts are mentioned as a requirement in the directions for the EU on environmental indicators and green national accounting. Their aim is to better depict the interaction between society and environment.

Environmental accounts are compiled in accordance with the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA), the international framework developed by the United Nations for integrating environmental and economic information within a common statistical system.

SEEA and the environmental accounts can contribute data and information to the monitoring of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

The results, data and indicators of the environmental accounts are used in various subject areas, some of which are presented here in more detail.
