India's Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA)
India's environmental-economic accounts are official statistics that link the state of nature to the economy, compiled by MoSPI's National Statistics Office (NSO) under the UN System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA). They are in the news because MoSPI released a new roadmap on 7 October 2026, the Strategy for Environmental-Economic Accounts in India 2026-2030, which widens coverage to carbon stock, land, minerals and more.
