Listen to our new podcast: Accounting for the environment: Better data for a better future

16 Nov  2022 - With temperatures rising and natural disasters occurring more frequently, the climate crisis is on everyone's minds. Countries have come together in an effort to address climate change via international co-operation. However, the climate crisis is worsening.

Why is it important to measure our environment and our environmental impacts? What is the data telling us? And how can these indicators help policymakers? This OECD Podcast aims to address these questions and more in conversation with one of our own economic-environmental accounting experts.
