Green Data: Measuring the Environment In the latest episode of the Statistically Speaking podcast we explore how the ONS measures our natural environment and the green economy. Is classical economic growth - as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) - always achieved at the expense of the environment? What price can we put on the amenities our environment provides? What are green jobs? And what are the key data to watch as policymakers strive for net zero carbon emissions, while also seeking to improve national prosperity? Joining podcast host Miles Fletcher to explore the rich, and perhaps under-explored, landscape of environmental data are ONSâs Deputy Director for Environmental Statistics Analysis, Ian Townsend; Head of Natural Capital Accounts, Gemma Thomas; and Sophie Barrand, Monetary Accounts Lead in the Environmental Accounts team. |
