Environment, public utilities
Environmental statistics covers data on natural resources (e.g. mineral resources, water resources), the load of the environment (e.g. air pollution, sewage treatment, waste management), environmental quality (quality of e.g. air, water or soil), nature protection (e.g. protected areas, protected species) and environmental protection (e.g. environmental investments, environmental expenditures, environmental taxes). It shows the state and the load of the environment, and quantifies efforts against the load of the environment. Public utilities statistics covers statistical data on public utilities (electricity, gas, purchased heat, drinking water, sewage, waste) in settlements.

Indicators of sustainable development for Hungary, 2018
In 1992, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development was held in Rio de Janeiro, and gave the impetus to the integration of the concept of sustainable development into national and global policies. In Hungary, the National Sustainable Development Council (NFFT, established in 2007) developed the Hungarian National Sustainable Development Framework Strategy, which was adopted by the Parliament in 2013. The framework strategy aims to provide a nationwide, long-term guide for individual and community action. Compared to the strategy of the European Union or the UN SDGs, the Hungarian framework strategy interprets the concept of sustainability much more narrowly. In this interpretation, sustainable development policy is primarily a long-term resource management activity in which it distinguishes four resources: human, social, natural and economic resources.
