Environmental Accounts account in a coherent and integrated manner, the physical and economic value of natural resources and their relevance to national wealth. In addition, they generate a series of indicators that allow us to know the supply and use of natural resources as well as their interaction with the different economic activities of the country, which contributes to the formulation of public policy and the decision-making process.
To support the creation and dissemination of environmental accounts, as well as recommend and define the guidelines for their implementation, the National Council of Environmental Accounts (CNCA) was formed, made up of MINAE, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of National Planning and Economic Policy (Mideplan) and the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC).
