Environmental Protection Expenditure Accounts [EPEA]

Environmental protection expenditure accounts present data, in a way that is compatible with the national accounts, on the economic resources devoted by resident units to environmental protection. Both the supply and the use of environmental protection services are presented. Such accounts allow for the compiling of national expenditure for environmental protection which is defined as the sum of total uses of environmental protection services by resident units, gross fixed capital formation for the production of environmental protection services, environmental protection investment, and transfers for environmental protection which are not a counterpart of previous items, less financing by the rest of the world.
