The compendium is a compilation of statistical information collected from data produced by various government agencies and from data available in different statistical publications. The compilation of statistical data in this compendium is based on the Philippine Framework of Environment Statistics (PFDES) which in turn is based on the United Nations Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics.

As in the previous editions, the focus of this compendium is on the five main items of environmental issues, namely: flora/fauna, atmosphere, water, land, mineral and energy and human settlements. The NSCB will strive to further improve the scope and coverage of the compendium in the future. It is hoped that this compendium will serve as a useful and convenient reference on the Philippine environment. With this publication the NSCB fulfills in part its function of providing information to planners, decision makers, researchers and other users towards sustainable development.
