Framework for the Development of Environmental Statistics and Indicators

This is a conceptual, statistical and flexible framework, multipurpose conceptual and statistical framework that is comprehensive and integrative in nature. It marks out the scope of environment statistics and provides an organizing structure to guide their collection and compilation at national level. The FDES 2013 targets a board user community, including environmental statisticians in national statistical offices (NSOs), environmental ministries and agencies, as well as other producers of environment statistics.
