Environmental Accounts in the Czech Statistics.

European environmental economic accounts are built in the Czech Republic by the Czech Statistical Office (CSO). This article summarizes the work which has been performed by the CSO over the last decade to provide necessary data for environmental economic accounts. The work was commenced in 2003, when the Environmental protection expenditure project was carried out. This was followed by NAMEA air emissions and Material flow accounts projects in 2005, and by Environmental goods and services sector and Environmental taxes projects, finished in 2011. The article describes data sources and methods that were used to provide indicators of above mentioned accounts. Some examples of the use of data are presented in the form of charts or tables.
