Accounting Sustainable Development: International Advancements at Macro and Micro Level is a precise yet authoritative examination of how modern accounting systems have evolved to support sustainable development policymaking. The book draws on international experiences from the EU, UN, India, and other regions to explore the transformation of national accounts, satellite accounts, and environmental-economic frameworks to better capture sustainability, inclusion, and long-term economic resilience.
