EIS environmental information system

Harmonizing environment statistics and environmental economic accounting concepts, definitions and classifications would introduce statistical checks and balances in the data and produce consistent data systems from individual sets of environment statistics across time and countries.

(d) Support to national environment administrations concerning environmental information systems and environmental policy formulation.

The idea has further evolved and is now applied to environmental issues in a broader perspective, to develop Information Systems to Monitor the Environment through the Internet (SISEI).

They're creating the ecosystem from which innovation emerges.

(e) Work towards the harmonization of data collection activities of environment and related statistics with concepts and definitions of environmental economic accounting, including the assurance of data quality.

Several countries are currently studying how to integrate EMS into environmental policies.

27. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has focused on the promotion of regional cooperation on the environment in its cooperation with OAU, mainly through providing support to the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN).

Its potential to improve regulatory compliance is an important advantage of an EMS, in particular where environmental laws and regulations are realistic in the context of local environmental and developmental conditions.

As part of its efforts during the Water for Life Decade, UNEP will also strengthen the UNEP Global Environmental Monitoring System on Water as a global repository for water quality data.

UNEP will pursue a more active participation at the country level, particularly as it relates to its normative functions, the traditional instruments of environmental management and the implementation of multilateral environmental agreements.

Promoting the wider use of EMS could result in environmental benefits.

In addition, a geographical information system (GIS) environmental database is being developed and testing of other appropriate environmental technologies is under way.

Through NRCT, Thailand will be operating the first remote sensing and environmental satellite system for monitoring the country s natural resources and environment.

The establishment and maintenance of an effective EMS enables an organization to anticipate and meet growing environmental performance expectations, to ensure ongoing compliance with national and or international environmental requirements and to support the continual improvement of its environmental performance.

The proposed Environment Watch system and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems are mutually supportive and could address this need, and Governments, the scientific community and partners could be called on to play an active role in their incremental development
