Environmental accounting - the modification of the national income accounts to take into consideration the economic role of the environment - has grown in importance over the past ten years. However, many countries have not yet implemented such accounts, and there is much controversy about whether and how to do so. This paper aims to shed light on this situation through nine country case studies: Norway, The Netherlands, Sweden, France, Canada, The Philippines, Namibia, Germany, and the United States.

Corporations must decide how much to invest in the natural capital (e.g. air, water, land, and forests) that they depend upon for their economic survival. How do they project the costs of essential investments under conditions of scientific and legislative uncertainty? An innovative roadmap is laid out with the help of a case study based on the actual experiences of a forestry company that made such an attempt. Everyone interested in developing a long-range environmental strategy will find this book instructive: senior corporate management, accountants, internal auditors, academics, students, and environmentalists. Based on the author's research for the United Nations, a new methodology is advanced to compute fuller costs. In addition to practical guidance on the theory and practice of calculating fuller costs, the author illustrates alternatives to traditional capital budgeting models. A whole range of concepts and applications are offered on natural capital; intergenerational equity; waste minimization; asset depletion rates; application of risk-management principles to costing natural capital; off-balance sheet natural assets; modern definition of profit for natural and business capital. Pioneering reporting methods for returns on investment and product costs are recommended in the concluding chapters.

Recent years have seen increasing pressures and incentives for the adoption of cleaner production processes and pollution prevention measures by industry emerging from both inside and outside of commerce. Internally the driver is to reduce the producers costs associated with waste and compliance with regulations. Externally the corporate environmental performance is increasingly scrutinised by investors, regulatory bodies, and the public at large. Some enterprises are reviewing and changing their management procedures in order to measure more accurately the costs of environmental impacts and the benefit of environmental protection. With increasingly tough environmental protection policies come steadily increasing business costs. Conventional managerial accounting systems do not adequately identify these costs, thereby complicating or preventing actions to reduce them. Environmental managerial accounting (EMA) covers a variety of techniques for identifying and measuring the full range of environmental costs. While managerial accounting systems are traditionally viewed as matters internal to a business, the potential public benefits that can result from their widespread adoption by corporations provide an incentive for an active government role in promoting such systems. This report presents the considerations from a series of United Nations sponsored expert meetings on how governments might promote and advance EMA.

In response to the significant changes that have occurred in the 1990s in the financing and organization of agricultural and natural resources research, The World Bank, in collaboration with the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, the UK Department for International Development, the International Food Policy Research Institute and Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit, initiated a series of regional and country case studies. The aim of these is to examine the impact of the changes. This book brings together the findings of these studies. It covers the changing nature of public sector research in industrialized and developing countries, including the effects of the investment stimulus created by the advent of biotechnology and intellectual property rights, and the collaborations which have resulted. The lessons learned from the different strategies adopted to organize and manage agricultural research are emphasized, along with their effectiveness in terms of the use of human and financial resources to achieve the research goals. The findings are summarized and a series of recommendations are made in terms of future food needs and environmentally sustainable development. Research managers, policy makers in national governments and funding agencies and agricultural economists will find this book an essential reference tool.
