This non-technical course outlines the policy applications of the System of Environmetnal-Economic Accounting (SEEA) and is aimed at policy makers, analysts and users of the accounts. This course addresses a lack of awareness by policy makers on the value added of the SEEA and how it can address policy needs and includes compelling case studies on the impact of the SEEA on policy.
The course includes four modules: an overview and specific modules on biodiversity, climate change and finance policy applications. The course is self-paced without instruction and can be taken at any point in time. Users may pick and choose which modules to take.
Target Audience
