It’s long been understood that extreme poverty and environmental degradation are interrelated problems. SEEA now provides a framework for international agencies, INGOs and governments in developing countries to better understand and address this poverty-environment nexus.

Spatially integrating social, economic and environmental data enables better coordinated and geographically targeted policies and initiatives to reduce poverty and restore ecosystem health.

IDEEA Groups’ Mark Eigenraam talks about this opportunity following his presentation on the Poverty and Environment Accounting Framework (PEAF) at UNESCAP’s Sub-Regional Workshop on Environmental Statistics for ASEAN Countries .
