The objective of the Environmental Accounts (EA) is to integrate the environmental information in a coherent way in the central system of National Accounts. They include a set of satellite accounts, with annual transmission, compiled using the accounting formats applicable to the different sectoral and territorial areas, with a strong presence of physical data. They show the interaction between the economy, households and environmental factors.

The Environmental Goods and Services Account (EGSA) presents data about the main variables associated with the production of goods and services whose objective is environmental protection and/or the most efficient management of natural resources, classified by economic activities and environmental domains.
