Abstract

To define, establish and verify environmental policies, a great deal of information is needed, in the form of a self-consistent and exhaustive system. Thus, as national accounts were implemented to support the re-building of the international economy after World War II, a system of integrated economic and environmental accounting seems a necessary condition for evaluating and planning a proper management of environment and natural resources.

This paper is the outcome of joint work of the Authors; however, A. Giannone wrote sections 0, 1 and 2, M. Carlucci wrote sections 3, 4, 5 and 6.
