Question

Select the publication by Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) related to Environmental Accounts as per UN-SEEA framework.

• A. EnviStats India 2022
• B. Energy Conservation Building Code 2017
• C. Eco Niwas Samhita 2018
• D. Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability

Hint:

MoSPI's keyword report on environmental accounting is always "EnviStats."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the framework.
The UN System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) integrates environmental statistics with national accounts. In India, MoSPI is the responsible body for producing such accounts.

Step 2: Evaluate options.
- (A) EnviStats India 2022: Annual MoSPI publication explicitly aligned to UN-SEEA. Correct.
- (B) Energy Conservation Building Code 2017: Issued by Bureau of Energy Efficiency, not MoSPI.
- (C) Eco Niwas Samhita 2018: Residential energy efficiency code, not environmental accounts.
- (D) Climate Change 2022: IPCC global report, not a MoSPI publication.

Step 3: Conclusion.
The MoSPI publication consistent with UN-SEEA is EnviStats India 2022. \[ \boxed{(A) \; \text{EnviStats India 2022}} \] % Quicktip
