Current focus on sub-soil assets (minerals, energy)
Stocks and flows
Physical and monetary
Measurement issues
Coexistence of different classification systems for the measurement of remaining stocks (CRIRSCO, SPE-PRMS, UNFC-2009 and SEEA-2012).
To align with the SEEA-2012 classification, data need to be available with a sufficient level of disaggregation in the original classification system and countries need to consider a wide range of resource types so that the (quite large) resource classes advocated by the SEEA-CF can be filled.
Even when definitions are aligned, national estimates may be very different from what international data providers publish (e.g: BP, EIA, OPEC, USGS). 13 SEEA Core tables - Compiling data on natural assets<br>

Practical approach
Data from national data sources, compiled by OECD Secretariat
Use of detailed metadata to explain how the different classifications and aggregates chosen by countries relate to each other and to the SEEA-2012 classification system
Validation by countries
Establishment of prototype database for selected countries
Data in physical units: 7 countries (Australia, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States)
13 resources (oil, natural gas, hard and brown coal, iron ore, bauxite, copper, lead, nickel, tin , zinc, gold and silver).
Data and metadata to be validated by countries before release on OECD.Stat (by the end of 2015). 14 SEEA Core tables - Compiling data on mineral and energy assets<br>

Natural assets
Note to clarify the relationships between the SEEA-CF 2012 and other classification systems, i.e. UNFC 2009 (Framework Classification for Fossil Energy and Mineral Reserves and Resources) Proposed amendments to the SEEA-CF
Preparation of background paper on valuation methodology (draft: July), including link between extraction costs concepts in the SEEA and in mining companies reports
Updated and expanded databases
Expansion of country coverage
Air emission accounts
Integrate into regular data collection process
Asset accounts
Possible expansion to other assets (renewable resources)
Identify areas for further work

Success criteria
Closeness to policy demands: national, international
Continuity and flexibility, institutional arrangements
Cost-effectiveness: use synergies, minimise duplication, focus on priority areas
Global coherence: cooperation, coordination, joint work
Existing international work covers already many SEEA-related topics
Energy, Water, Air emissions, Material flows, Environmental protection expenditure, Environmental taxes, Land, EGGS, …
Agriculture, forestry, food, protected areas, …
Could be used as a foundation
By identify commonalities
By applying the subsidiarity principle layered approach as for environmental data or for national accounts (IWGs), 20 Lessons from OECD work and discussion items<br>

How far shall we go? How to proceed?
Clarify the purpose of the proposal and priorities
Establish a multi-purpose global database on environmental-economic accounts (supply driven; broad scope; ambitious)
Contribute to the monitoring of the SDGs by using the added value that the SEEA provides (demand driven; focus on priority areas)
Clarify the process
Data collection from countries versus data compilation from existing sources (coordinated and layered approach, common concepts)
Role of core tables
Role of countries, of IGOs, of UNCEEA
Level of ambition, feasibility (national, international), cost 22 Lessons from OECD work and discussion items<br>
