Environmental indicators are a key tool for environmental assessment, reporting and policymaking. They can show key trends adn help describe causes and effects of envrionmental conditions. They can also help in setting priorities and evaluating environmental policy implementation and in assessing compliance with international commitments. This publication contains the guidelines for the application of environmental indicators and for the preparation of indicators-based environment assessment report.
Finding and using indicators that are most suited for tracking progress, raising awareness and supporting analysis is a challenge. Indicators need to be used in appropriate contexts and should ideally be fit-for-purpose. For example, indicators which are best used for awareness-raising cannot be used for monitoring policy goals. This report presents a short review of different indicators typically encountered by environmental policy makers. General advice is provided regarding their uses. In the second part of the report, an overview of the environmental-economic accounting work of the Nordic statistical institutes is presented. Lessons learned from the development of these accounts as well as ideas for future work are described. These types of environmental accounts provide a framework for developing information about the connections between the economy and the environment. The study was commissioned by the Nordic Council of Ministers and conducted by the national statistical agencies in the Nordic countries, led by Statistics Norway and Statistics Sweden.
