Pilot Ecosystem Account for Southern Palawan

Philippine Wealth Accounting and the Valuation of Ecosystem Services (Phil-WAVES). (2016).Pilot Ecosystem Account for Southern Palawan. Produced by DENR, PSCD and World Bank thru WAVES Philippines : Philippines [e-copy].

 

This final report presents the collective findings of the Technical Working Group for Southern Palawan ecosystem accounting, a pilot undertaking conducted between January 1, 2014 and December 10, 2015 in the island province. 

The Southern Palawan ecosystem account explores potential pathways to developing specific accounts based on a comprehensive framework called the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting-Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA-EEA), which shows the interactions between the economy and ecosystems, consistent with the System of National Accounts. 

Although experimental in nature, the account is replicable across time and geographical scales (e.g., national).  It is also useful in policy making. Through this groundbreaking endeavor, substantial capacity has been built locally to produce ecosystem accounts and update them on a regular basis, thus helping ensure effective policy 

making and sustainable management of natural resources.

Key Findings

The Southern Palawan Pilot Ecosystem Account follows an adopted standardized system called the System of Environmental Economic Accounting – Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA-EEA) framework, which ensures comparability, both nationally and internationally, and consistency with regularly produced economic statistics. Therefore, ecosystem accounts can be used to monitor trends in natural capital as well as the enforcement of resource management policies.
