The Environmental balance sheet of nations: reflections on global climate change scenarios

Abstract: The objective of this work is to prepare environmental balance sheets of countries based on the scenarios for climate change and global warming indicated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations (UN). We consider the stock of forest resources and the residual balance between emission and capture of carbon or greenhouse gases (GHGs) estimated for each country in 2020 and 2050, according to the two editions (A1B1 and A2B2) of the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES).

“…It should be emphasized that the first difficulty that professionals discuss is with the recognition of environmental externalities in accounting, and then an understanding of the impact these externalities have on organizations. Some concepts and alternatives are already being presented by researchers in the accounting area (Gao, Heravi, & Xiao, ; Kassai et al., ; Slomski et al., ). Along these lines, Soares and Porto () discuss externalities as an unquestionable fact before any economic activity and acknowledge their effects throughout the production process.…”

“…Within the scope of business management, incorporating scientific requirements of physical measurement of the use of N, R, F resources of productive activities considering the economic scale in techniques and management tools, can contribute to internalize in the financial accounting of companies, metrics that expand the traditional meanings of financial assets and liabilities, relating them to the preservation of the entire biosphere, according to concepts of balance and accountability (Kassai et al, 2012).…”

“…More and more companies have sought to integrate economic indexes with environmental ones. The use of metrics that measure the use of natural resources and the impacts of productive activities broaden the traditional meanings of accounting assets and liabilities, relating them to biosphere preservation, according to balance and accountability (One of the pillars of corporate governance: responsible accountability, ethical reasoning and good accounting and auditing practices) concepts (Kassai et al, 2012).…”

“…Estudos e pesquisas desenvolvidos por diversos autores (KASSAI et al, 2008;LOUETTE, 2008;TINOCO e KRA-MER, 2008; discutem os efeitos nocivos do desenvolvimento econômico quando não há conservação adequada da natureza. Preocupado em evidenciar aspectos relacionados ao meio ambiente, o Instituto dos Auditores Independentes do Brasil (IBRACON, 1996) aprovou, em 1996, a Norma de Procedimento de Auditoria NPA 11 -Balanço e Ecologia, com o objetivo de • "estabelecer os liames entre a Contabilidade e o Meio Ambiente, tendo em vista que, como as demais ciências, incumbe-lhe também participar dos esforços em favor da defesa e proteção contra a poluição e as agressões à vida humana e à natureza" (IBRACON, 1996, p.1).…”

“…A humanidade atingiu seu primeiro bilhão de habitantes em 1802, de acordo com dados da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU, 1997), e, segundo estimativas, a população mundial pode atingir nove bilhões de habitantes em poucas décadas. Conforme o Balanço Contábil das Nações (KASSAI et al, 2008), o planeta não comportará essa população se os modelos atuais de extração, produção, distribuição, consumo e descarte continuarem baseados nas crenças e valores vigentes no século XX, em que vigorou a lógica capitalista do melhor desempenho econômico por meio do aumento da produtividade com exploração desordenada da natureza e ampliação das desigualdades econômica e social (ROCHA e SIMAN, 2005). O ciclo circular adotado pela economia das empresas no século passado pressupunha que os recursos eram abundantes e inesgotáveis e, de alguma forma, seriam renovados.…”
