Background of Environment Statistics
In recent years, the United Nations Statistical Commission has overseen = major new developments related to statistics on the environment and agricul= ture, including: revision of the Framework for the Development of Environme= nt Statistics (FDES 2013), revision of the System of-Environmental-Economic= Accounting (SEEA 2012), adoption of International Recommendations for Ener= gy Statistics (IRES 2011), adoption of International Recommendations for Wa= ter Statistics (IRWS 2010) and adoption of the Global Strategy to improve A= gricultural and Rural statistics (2009).
The Global Strategy to improve Agricultural and Rural Statistics was uti= lised to develop a regional implementation plan for Asia and the Pacific, w= hich was endorsed by the ESCAP Committee on Statistics in 2012.
The ESCAP Committee on Statistics in 2012 also endorsed the further deve= lopment of a regional strategy for improvement of environment statistics. A= primary objective for this area of work will be to provide assistance to g= overnments in Asia and the Pacific with implementation of the current agree= d international standards and recommendations.
Decisions about development investments that are intended to foster agri= cultural growth need to be based on sound information about land use, natur= al factors affecting agricultural production, and the prevailing economic a= nd social situations that producers face, and the interaction of these issu= es with climate change.
