Counting the costs of industrial pollution
The societal costs or ‘externalities’ of air pollution from large industrial facilities are high and include impacts on human health, ecosystems, infrastructure and the climate. Within the European Green Deal, the European Union is committed to the transition to climate neutrality, alongside a zero-pollution ambition. European industry also has an important role to play in this shift, reinforcing Europe’s credentials as a leader in ‘green’ industry.
Conditions and pathways for sustainable and circular consumption in Europe
Unprecedented sustainability challenges from accumulating environmental and climate pressures and impacts - to a large extent caused by unsustainable consumption - require a fundamental shift in our production and consumption systems in Europe and beyond. Such a shift calls for exploring what conditions and pathways are for sustainable and circular consumption in Europe.
Localisation of the 211 facilities accounting for 50 % of the aggregate damage costs from main air pollutants and greenhouse gases (2017)
The figure presents the location of the top 50% polluting facilities in 2017, accounting for damage from main air pollutants and greenhouse gases. Colour code and size of circles indicate the size range of estimated damage. Mortality caused by the main air pollutants has been valued using the VOLY.
