Editorial Reviews

Review

"It fills an important void for a clear and comprehensive introduction. It is appropriate for those interested in both the essential 'how-to's' as well as the larger policy implications of national environmental accounting."


Product Description

This book presents national environmental, or "green" accounting as it has developed in Europe and other parts of the world. It introduces the most recent methods developed through the United Nations Statistical Department and other international organizations, but bridges the gap between the superficial treatment of environmental accounting in economics textbooks and environmental literature, on the one hand, and the highly technical manuals of international organizations, on the other.

Joy Hecht begins with a history and introduction to national income accounting. The first part of her book explains how the environmental accounts build on the structure of the 1993 System of National Accounts. She then shows the UN approach to accountingapplied to pollution, recycling, and the management of natural resources such as forests, minerals,and fisheries. The third section discusses how the accounts approach green GDP and other macroeconomic indicators. The book concludes by going beyond the UN structures to discuss other adjusted macroeconomic measures and how accounting data can be used to build them.

National Environmental Accounting is a non-technical introduction to an increasingly important field. It is a must-read for anyone interested in how environmental accounts can help society move towards greater sustainability.

5.0 out of 5 stars Joy E Hecht may help us save ourselves, if we listen and try our best., June 25, 2009
This review is from: National Environmental Accounting: Bridging the Gap between Ecology and Economy (Paperback)
I attempted to read this work when referencing her other work while researching a paper for a group of undergraduate classes, focused upon our economics and environment. I Aced the classes, but I could not get off the ground on this work. It is quite technical. As for the author and subject, Social Environmental Accounting has greatly influenced my life. In great part due to other work by Joy E. Hecth. Some day I may complete this work.
Sincerely,
ChangeItOrDrownIt
