Ensuring quality of life in Europe's cities and towns
-
In May 2008, the Council of Europe's Congress
of Local and Regional Authorities captured the
concerns and desires of urban policy‑makers
and citizens in the title of its new European
Urban Charter: Manifesto for a new urbanity.
Like numerous other international and European
charters, conventions and declarations, the
manifesto describes with some apprehension the
'unprecedented environmental, democratic, cultural,
social and economic challenges' facing urban centres
and their inhabitants.
Our report on quality of life in Europe's cities and
towns reiterates these concerns but also unravels the
many apparent paradoxes of urban development
and the sometimes perplexing realities of urban
Europe today. The report defines a vision for
progress towards a more sustainable, well‑designed
urban future.

Regional climate change and adaptation — The Alps facing the challenge of changing water resources
-
Drawing on the most recent
knowledge of climate change impacts in the Alps
and experiences across the region, this report
analyses the risks that climate change presents to
the region's water supply and quality, identifying
needs, constraints, opportunities, policy levers and
options for adaptation. It extracts policy guidance
on adaptation practice and aims to assist regional
and local stakeholders in developing robust
adaptation strategies. The focus of the report is
on water resources and related adaptation, rather
than water-related extreme events like floods,
avalanches, landslides or mudflows, which are
already well covered by existing studies of climate
change impacts in the Alps.

What are the environmental concerns of Europe’s future policy makers?
-
Curious as to how the future policy-makers and voters feel about Europe's environment, the EEA interviewed young Europeans at the first ever Youth Summit organised by the European Commission. The event was part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Rome Treaty. More environmental education, alternative sources of energy and stricter transportation laws are some of the proposals put forth by the youth.
