Governance

The European Environment Agency is governed by a Management Board, whose members are mandated to act in the public interest. The day-to-day operation of the EEA is the responsibility of the Executive Director.

Our knowledge network — Eionet

Founded in 1994, the European Environment Information and Observation Network — Eionet — is a well-known and trusted provider of high-quality data, information and sustainability assessments for Europe.

Projects and cooperation agreements

The climate and environmental issues that are affecting Europe go well beyond European Union (EU) borders. International cooperation is key for solving today’s crises and this is the reason why the EEA is involved in carefully selected projects and cooperation agreements supporting environmental and climate policies in Europe and beyond.

Becoming a climate-neutral agency

The European Environment Agency (EEA) aims to be a climate-neutral and resource efficient organisation and contribute to the European Union’s (EU) ambition of becoming climate neutral by 2050 .

EEA-Eionet Strategy 2021-2030

This document presents the vision and strategic objectives that will be shaping the work of the European Environment Agency and European Environment Information and Observation Network in the coming decade
