Features: The successful hosting of this international conference marks a good start for China in establishing a green national economic accounting system, offering many valuable suggestions for the development of China's green national economic accounting work. Regarding the next steps in China's green national economic accounting efforts, the conference proposed the following four recommendations:
1. Propose and improve the theoretical framework of green national economic accounting, enhancing its scientific rigor and operational feasibility to provide a basis for government decision-making.
2. Select several domestic regions with a solid foundation in green national economic accounting to accelerate pilot projects, starting with easier tasks and gradually refining the green national economic accounting system.
3. Expedite the launch of a national survey on environmental pollution losses and ecological damage losses, advancing the valuation of natural resources and environmental physical assets, as well as stock and flow accounting, to deepen and promote the establishment of the green national economic accounting system.
4. Fully leverage international experiences in green national economic accounting, integrating resources from both domestic and international theoretical research, policy frameworks, and institutional arrangements to preliminarily establish a comprehensive, scientific, applicable, and internationally aligned green national economic accounting system.
