Areas of work

The remit of the EEA is to provide reliable and timely information and knowledge to policy makers, the academic community, the general public and other stakeholders.

2021 publications and outreach

As outlined in the EEA-Eionet Strategy 2021-2030, the EEA aims to ensure that Europe’s policymakers and citizens have the best available knowledge on Europe’s environment, in order to be able to make informed decisions. EEA publications are known for their timeliness and reliability, and constitute vital inputs to the environmental debate at European policy and societal levels.

Our workplace

The EEA is an agency of the European Union based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Our diverse, multi-cultural workforce exemplifies European cooperation and is divided across thematic, cross-cutting and administrative programmes in support of Europe's environmental objectives.

Environmental performance

The EEA has been certified under the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) since 2005. Since then we have worked to minimise our environmental impact using measures such as the procurement of renewable energy, reduction in the use of energy and paper, enhanced recycling and offsetting travel-related emissions.
