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.
European forests — ecosystem conditions and sustainable use
Forest land cover change in the EEA-39, 2000-2018
The map shows the loss and gain of forests aggregated in a 10 km grid. Units are in ha/km2. The following CLC classes were used: Consumption of transitional woodland (LCF71), Consumption caused by forest and shrub fires (LCF92), Consumption caused by forest management (LCF74), Afforestation (LCF72), Forest-internal conversion (LCF71, LCF73 and part of LCF74), Withdrawal of farming with woodland creation (LCF61), Total formation of forest.

Annual European Union greenhouse gas inventory 1990–2009 and inventory report 2011
This report is the annual submission of the greenhouse gas inventory of the European Union to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. It presents greenhouse gas emissions between 1990 and 2009 for EU-27, EU-15, individual Member States and economic sector.
