Environmental-economic accounts show how our environment contributes to our economy, the impacts of economic activity on our environment, and how we respond to environmental issues.

Environmental accounting is the measurement of environmental assets in monetary terms. It focuses on the value of an environmental resource and the changes in that value over time. One aim of environmental-asset accounting is to assess whether patterns of economic activity are depleting or degrading our resources. Information from an environmental-asset account can be used to manage the resource. The valuation of a natural resource, such as water and managed fisheries, can be combined with valuations of other physical or financial assets (eg. machinery or equity and investment fund shares) to provide estimates of national wealth.
