| There was not natural factor in traditional GDP accounting, which ignored the influence of social economics by natural environment. Some economical productive activities, which had no contribution, even negative effects to social economics, were included in the GDP accounting. These accounting methods did not meet the requirements of sustainable development, and could not account for the real wealth in the community under the premise of sustainable development. Therefore, scholars raised the green national economic accounting (green GDP). This method accounted natural environment as a major element of economic social, and deducted the cost of environmental pollution and control from the GDP.This paper summarizes the accounting indicators and accounting systems of China and foreign countries since the proposal of green GDP, including ecological requisite index (ERI), net economic welfare (NEW), net national welfare (NNW), net domestic product (NDP), index of sustainable economic welfare (ISEW), environment and sustainable development (ESD), Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), extensive wealth (EW), Genuine Savings (GS), ecological footprint (EF), ecological service index (ESI) and so on; and also containing several green GDP accounting systems such as the System of Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting (SEEA), European System for the Collection of Economic Information on the Environment (SERIEE), National Accounting Matrix including Environmental Accounts (NAMEA), Social Accounting Matrix including Environmental Accounts (SAMEA), European environmental pressure index, Environmental and Natural Resources Accounting Project (ENRAP) etc. Then combining of India, Botswana, Germany, Norway, Canada and China's green accounting practice, we explore some valuable experiences to China's green GDP accounting. Finally, some suggestions are proposed through the comparative of our country and abroad, such as the eco-consciousness, regional economic development and industrial structure. |
