Environmental economics in Bangladesh : proceedings of workshops on green/environmental economics held on 2 November, 1997 and on 18 February 1998

To explore the concept of green accounting, IUCN Bangladesh held two workshops in Dhaka (1997, 1998). The participants consisted of experts, academics, bureaucrats, policy-makers, and consultants representing a broad spectrum of government and non-government agencies. The workhop proceedings have been published to create a greater awareness of the need for the application of environmental accounting in Bangladesh. It is hoped that researchers and planners will find the contents useful in promoting a more sophisticated computation of national income so that it realistically reflects the compulsions of the environmental and other related issues involved in the economic activities.
