Statistics related to this objective is governed through the system of environmental economic accounts (SEEA). Stats SA followed the 1993 SEEA in its existing activities in the form of publications on water, minerals and energy. Stats SA's role in implementing SEEA is mainly a coordinating role, as the required basic statistics fall outside the scope of national statistics offices. The full development of SEEA requires increased capacity in Stats SA to interact and advise other role players in the statistics system. The actual compilation of the accounts will be undertaken by Stats SA.
