OECD environmental data Several data sources and compilation channels Data collection from countries: ministries, agencies, NSOs State of the environment questionnaire (regular since 1977-1982) SEEA core tables: air emissions, natural assets (work in progress) Country environmental performance reviews: additional data, country specific Database on instruments for environmental policy and resource management Data compilation from other OECD and international sources OECD: Energy, transport, agriculture, industry, Convention Secretariats: UNFCCC, Basel, CLRTAP, . UN agencies: UNEP, UNSD, UNECE, FAO, World Bank Eurostat, EEA Other: research institutes, NGOs 4
OECD environmental data State of the environment questionnaire (1) Major tool for harmonised collection at international level OECD Core set of environmental data Regular revisions to align with policy needs and international statistical developments International co-operation and joint work Joint work with Eurostat, data exchange & validation arrangements Close cooperation with UNSD and UNEP: water, waste Cooperation with EEA, Convention Secretariats, etc. Holistic approach PSR model Nine sections Air, inland waters, marine environment, land, forest, wild life, waste, noise, expenditure and revenues Several tables based on accounting concepts 5
OECD environmental data State of the environment questionnaire (2) Regular data collection and treatment Every two years for 3 sections (full details): inland waters, waste, expenditure For EU countries via Eurostat platform Annual quality assurance of environmental reference data Subset needed to calculate key environmental indicators Air and GHG emissions, water resources and abstraction, forest resources, waste water treatment connection rates, municipal waste, threatened species Submitted to countries for validation, updating, documentation, interpretation Other questionnaire sections Used on an ad-hoc basis Data taken from other international data sources Regular use of prefilling 6

Environmental data collection International cooperation Other countries OECD Member & Partner countries EU Member & Partner countries UNSD/ UNEP Eurostat (EEA) OECD OECD/Eurostat questionnaire on the state of the environment Additional tables Legal reporting obligations Other UNSD-UNEP questionnaire (water, waste) Reference data: annual quality assurance 8
Agri-environmental indicators Regular updating decided Data compilation From existing sources (Eurostat for EU countries, FAO) complemented with data collection from non-EU countries when needed Validation by countries before release Priority areas Nutrient balances Water abstraction: via Annual Quality Assurance (AQA) of environmental reference data (link to state of the environment questionnaire) Agricultural land Pesticides Timelines (June 2015-Q1 2016) 9
Inter-Country Input-Output (ICIO) database Two decades of work and experience Basis for measuring value added, jobs, carbon and raw materials embodied in international trade Publicly available Regular updates Years: 1995, 2000, 2005, 2008-2011 Expanded coverage 61 countries: OECD, EU, G20, most ASEAN, 34 ISIC activities Ongoing developments Accounting for the heterogeneity of firms in industry groupings in national IOTs Develop extended SUTs (with NSOs) Improving timeliness through now-casting Improving indicators on carbon embodied in trade 10
Implementation of the SEEA OECD Work programme 2015-16: Priorities SEEA implementation integrated in OECD programme of work on statistics and on environment Supports production of green growth and environmental indicators, including headline indicators Complements existing regular work OECD Task Force established in 2013 Cooperation with UNSD, World Bank, Eurostat Air emissions Core tables, Database Natural assets Core tables, Database Common valuation methodology for international reporting Technical notes Final reports by Q4 2015 11
SEEA Core tables - Compiling data on air emission accounts Reporting template (core table) based on Eurostat 11 pollutants or gases: CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, SOx, NOx, CO, VOC, PM2.5 Industry breakdown based on ISIC rev. 4 Data compilation European countries: via Eurostat (mandatory reporting) Other countries: from countries websites/databases Country coverage so far EU member countries, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey Australia, Canada Data available on OECD website (OECD.Stat) Under : Environment \ Air and Climate \ Air Emission Accounts 12
SEEA Core tables - Compiling data on natural assets Current focus on sub-soil assets (minerals, energy) Stocks and flows Physical and monetary Measurement issues Coexistence of different classification systems for the measurement of remaining stocks (CRIRSCO, SPE-PRMS, UNFC- 2009 and SEEA-2012). To align with the SEEA-2012 classification, data need to be available with a sufficient level of disaggregation in the original classification system and countries need to consider a wide range of resource types so that the (quite large) resource classes advocated by the SEEA-CF can be filled. Even when definitions are aligned, national estimates may be very different from what international data providers publish (e.g: BP, EIA, OPEC, USGS). 13
SEEA Core tables - Compiling data on mineral and energy assets Practical approach Data from national data sources, compiled by OECD Secretariat Use of detailed metadata to explain how the different classifications and aggregates chosen by countries relate to each other and to the SEEA-2012 classification system Validation by countries Establishment of prototype database for selected countries Data in physical units: 7 countries (Australia, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States) 13 resources (oil, natural gas, hard and brown coal, iron ore, bauxite, copper, lead, nickel, tin , zinc, gold and silver). Data and metadata to be validated by countries before release on OECD.Stat (by the end of 2015). 14

Implementation of the SEEA Ongoing work and next steps Natural assets Note to clarify the relationships between the SEEA-CF 2012 and other classification systems, i.e. UNFC 2009 (Framework Classification for Fossil Energy and Mineral Reserves and Resources) Proposed amendments to the SEEA-CF Preparation of background paper on valuation methodology (draft: July), including link between extraction costs concepts in the SEEA and in mining companies reports Updated and expanded databases Expansion of country coverage Air emission accounts Integrate into regular data collection process Asset accounts Possible expansion to other assets (renewable resources) Identify areas for further work Next meeting of OECD SEEA TF: 16 October 2015 16

Towards a global data collection programme on environmental-economic accounts 19
Lessons from OECD work and discussion items Success criteria Closeness to policy demands: national, international Continuity and flexibility, institutional arrangements Cost-effectiveness: use synergies, minimise duplication, focus on priority areas Global coherence: cooperation, coordination, joint work Existing international work covers already many SEEA- related topics Energy, Water, Air emissions, Material flows, Environmental protection expenditure, Environmental taxes, Land, EGGS, Agriculture, forestry, food, protected areas, Could be used as a foundation By identify commonalities By applying the subsidiarity principle layered approach as for environmental data or for national accounts (IWGs), 20

Lessons from OECD work and discussion items How far shall we go? How to proceed? Clarify the purpose of the proposal and priorities Establish a multi-purpose global database on environmental- economic accounts (supply driven; broad scope; ambitious) Contribute to the monitoring of the SDGs by using the added value that the SEEA provides (demand driven; focus on priority areas) Clarify the process Data collection from countries versus data compilation from existing sources (coordinated and layered approach, common concepts) Role of core tables Role of countries, of IGOs, of UNCEEA Level of ambition, feasibility (national, international), cost 22
