Another mechanism for evaluating environmental performance is to include environmental data in the System of National Accounts  through the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting  introduced by the UN. As the international statistical standard for environmental-economic accounting , SEEA includes natural capital resources in national accounting. A number of recent studies conclude that failure to account for natural capital in macroeconomic impact assessments results in overly optimistic outcomes ; . For example, Jendrzejewski  inserted natural capital into a computable general equilibrium model of the 2017 European windstorm on state- owned forests in Poland. This resulted in more negative assessment of impacts, suggesting excluding natural capital could lead to erroneous investments, strategies or policies. Similarly, other studies rely on Quality of life  measurements as alternatives for GDP. Estoque et al.  suggested a 'QOL-Climate' assessment framework, designed to capture the social-ecological impacts of climate change and variability.
