Policy Applications of Environmental-Economic Accounting in Canada Regional Seminar on the System of Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA) Central Framework in the Caribbean February 6-7, 2014 Castries, Saint Lucia Joe St. Lawrence Statistics Canada

Main Policy Initiatives linked to SEEA 1990-97 Canada’s Green Plan 2000-07 Environment and Sustainable Development Indicators 2011-13 Measuring Ecosystem Goods and Services Dates describe duration of related work. Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada 28/11/2018

Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada The Green Plan Initiation 1990 Federal Budget Objectives To initiate development of a system of environmental and resource accounts that would quantify the links between the environment and the economy. Outcome Canadian System of Environmental and Resource Accounts Accounts: Physical Flows (water, energy, GHG) Assets (minerals, energy, timber), Land Related indicators Surveys: Environmental Protection Expenditures, Environmental Goods and Services Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada 28/11/2018

Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada Environment and Sustainable Development Indicators Initiation 2000 Federal Budget Objectives To find ways to track the impact of current economic practices on the natural and human assets that will be needed by future generations of Canadians. Outcome Reports: 2003 State of the Debate Report, 2006-08 Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators Indicators: Air Quality, Water Quality, GHG Emissions Surveys: Households and the Environment, Industrial Water Use, Agricultural Water Use, Drinking Water Treatment Plants Links: Ongoing contribution to Federal Sustainable Development Strategy indicators NRTEE, Health Canada, Environment Canada In 2008, the Government of Canada took an important step on the path towards a sustainable future with the passage of the Federal Sustainable Development Act. The Act’s purpose is “to provide the legal framework for developing and implementing a Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) that will make environmental decision-making more transparent and accountable to Parliament”.

Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada Measuring Ecosystem Goods and Services Initiation 2011 Interdepartmental funding request Objectives To develop experimental ecosystem accounts with the specific objective of supporting policy needs related to the valuation of ecosystem goods and services.

Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada Other policy work related to SEEA Department of Foreign Affairs Trade and Development DFATD`s Office of the Chief Economist has used the environmental accounts (GHG emission, Energy Use and Water use) for our environmental assessment of various international trade agreements since 2010. We use them to measure the scale, composition and technological impacts of trade on Canada`s environment. Without those data it would not be possible for us to measure the impact of trade as requested. Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada 28/11/2018

Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada Other policy work related to SEEA Department of Finance Use the environmental accounts to conduct strategic environmental assessments for select policies, notably analysis of changes in commodity taxes, including the Goods and Services Tax. Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada 28/11/2018

Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada Other policy work related to SEEA Ontario Ministry of Finance Statistics Canada’s environmental accounts enable us to quantify some of the links between the economy and the environment. This improves decision making in many policy areas including natural resource management, climate change, and energy policy. Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada 28/11/2018

Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada Other policy work related to SEEA Natural Resources Canada Natural Resources Canada was interested in building a comprehensive statistical framework and knowledge base for recycling with the belief that it would strongly contribute to the success of an eventual federal recycling initiative. Formulating effective policy in this regard would have been very difficult without reliable recycling data. Furthermore, these data were expected to be used as a component of the environmental indicator work that was encouraged by the year 2000 federal budget. This resulted in a four-year project whose aim was to investigate and initiate a means of improving information on the flows of recyclable materials in Canada. The focus of the project was the collection of physical data (tonnes of material). It was also proposed to assemble financial details for the main participants in the recycling industry. The pilot work was completed in 2003, but funding was not subsequently pursued to continue the activity. Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada 28/11/2018
