About the PEIS

Introduction

Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics started the preparation for establishing the Palestinian Environmental Information System in cooperation with the European Environment Agency.  The preparations started with counting and classifying the environmental indicators into 6 groups; water and wastewater, solid waste, land use, energy, climate and air quality.

Number of environmental information systems were explored to have an idea about the contents and the structure of such information systems; of the systems that explored are: Botswana environment information system, shred environment information system (SEIS), DevInfo census database (Census info),  and the national statistical monitoring system.
