The development of Environment Statistics is still at infancy stage in Nepal. It is a new area in the Statistical System of Nepal. Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) first published a compendium on Environment Statistics in 1994 which provided valuable insights into the importance and usefulness of the subject matter. ‘A Compendium on Environment Statistics 1998 Nepal’ was brought as second publication with an attempt to analyze available data on various aspect of the environment of Nepal. However, database on the environment was limited. Therefore, CBS continued attempts to bring out the environment related statistics by compiling and publishing its publication ‘Environment Statistics of Nepal, 2001’ in the form of environment database of Nepal. The present issue of ‘Environment Statistics of Nepal, 2013’ is the eighth in the series.
