Abstract
The Norwegian work on Natural Resource Accounting (NRA) was initiated in 1974 by The Ministry of Environment. An initial research report on concepts and systems was prepared by the Ministry in 1974, followed by pilot accounts for energy, land use and fish resources. An official report and a White Paper was presented in 1977. Since 1978, the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) has been responsible for NRA work. Accounts for energy, fish and forest resources, selected minerals, land use and air pollution have been published.
