An interagency group has met to work on environment and water-related statistics.

The working session of the interagency working group on environment statistics (IWG-Env) was held from 20-22 June 2005, Vienna, Austria. The group’s aim is to improve the quality and quantity of environment and water-related data provided to international experts for analysis. Participants evaluated international needs for water statistics and indicators and how these needs are met, identified problems encountered by countries during the data collection process, and exchanged experiences on national practices. The group concluded that an effort to coordinate international data collection mechanisms in water is necessary and decided to explore the possibilities of organizing joint data collection activities.
