Global and local: secure and affordable energy Global and local: secure and affordable energy Energy is a commodity traded in global markets. Lack of access to affordable energy sources, disruptions in energy flows, high import dependency and wild fluctuations in prices are all seen as potential weaknesses, impacting the economy and, consequently, the economic and social wellbeing of the communities affected. Can boosting the renewable energy capacity across Europe and the world change the rules of global energy politics? How does the EU’s Energy Union contribute?
Driving to an electric future? Driving to an electric future? A quiet change is under way on European roads. The use of electric vehicles is projected to take off across Europe. It is a move that could help pave the way to a greener road transport system, but one that could pose challenges in meeting energy demand and investing in relevant infrastructure.
Making clean renewable energy happen Making clean renewable energy happen Investing in clean energy must go hand in hand with energy efficiency and energy savings. Innovative solutions can fundamentally change the way we produce, store, transport and use energy. The transition from fossil fuels to renewable and clean energy might affect communities dependent on fossil fuels in the short run. With targeted policies and investments in new professional skills, clean energy can provide new economic opportunities.
Interview — Growing food or fuel on our land? Interview — Growing food or fuel on our land? Only a decade ago, biofuel production from plants was hailed as an ecological alternative to fossil fuels. Recently, it has come to be seen as competing with food production and not always an effective solution in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases or air pollutants. We talked to Irini Maltsoglou, Natural Resources Officer at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), about biofuel production and agriculture and if and how it can be done sustainably.
Energy and climate change Energy and climate change Mitigating and adapting to climate change are key challenges of the 21st century. At the core of these challenges is the question of energy — more precisely, our overall energy consumption and our dependence on fossil fuels. To succeed in limiting global warming, the world urgently needs to use energy efficiently while embracing clean energy sources to make things move, heat up and cool down. The European Union policies play an important role in facilitating this energy transition.
Shaping the future of energy in Europe: Clean, smart and renewable Shaping the future of energy in Europe: Clean, smart and renewable Our quality of life depends, among other things, on a reliable supply of energy at an affordable price. We use energy to heat and cool our homes, to cook and preserve our food, to travel and to build schools, hospitals and roads. We use machines to carry out numerous tasks, contributing to our wealth and wellbeing, and machines need energy. We still burn fossil fuels to obtain most of the energy we use. Moreover, we waste a substantial part of this energy before and during use.
Interview — Energy efficiency benefits us all Interview — Energy efficiency benefits us all Potential gains from improving energy efficiency are substantial — not only in terms of saving energy and combating climate change, but also in terms of contributing to an array of other co-benefits, including improving human health and creating jobs. We asked Tim Farrell, Senior Advisor at the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency, what works best when it comes to boosting energy efficiency. He stressed that targeted policy measures and sufficient resources to support implementation and compliance are among a number of critical ingredients for success.
Energy in Europe — State of play Energy in Europe — State of play European countries consume less energy compared with 10 years ago, mainly due to energy efficiency gains. Europe also relies less on fossil fuels due to energy savings and the faster-than-expected uptake of renewable energy. In the decade 2005-2015, the share of renewables in the EU’s energy consumption nearly doubled, from 9 % to almost 17 %. Some sectors and countries are leading the way towards clean energy. Despite their declining share of the market, however, fossil fuels continue to be the dominant energy source in Europe.

Signals 2017 - Shaping the future of energy in Europe: Clean, smart and renewable Signals 2017 - Shaping the future of energy in Europe: Clean, smart and renewable The European Environment Agency (EEA) publishes Signals annually, providing a snapshot of issues of interest to the environmental debate and the wider public. Signals 2017 focuses on energy.
EEA Signals 2015 - Living in a changing climate EEA Signals 2015 - Living in a changing climate Signals 2015 focuses on climate change: Our climate is changing. Global average temperatures are increasing, sea levels are rising, precipitation patterns are changing, and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe. In a series of short articles and interviews, Signals 2015 presents an overview of what causes climate change and what climate change means for human health, the environment, and the economy.
EEA Miljøsignaler 2014 - Velfærd og miljøet EEA Miljøsignaler 2014 - Velfærd og miljøet Opbygning af en ressourceeffektiv kredsløbsøkonomi i Europa: Vi udvinder og bruger flere ressourcer, end vores planet kan producere over en given tid. Vores aktuelle forbrugs- og produktionsmønster er ikke bæredygtigt og risikerer at svække vores planets evne til at brødføde os alle. Vi bliver nødt til at reorganisere vores produktions- og forbrugssystemer, så vi kan producere de samme mængder med et lavere ressourceforbrug – genbruge, genvinde og genanvende mere – og reducere den mængde affald, vi skaber.
Miljøsignaler 2013 - Hvert åndedrag vi tager Miljøsignaler 2013 - Hvert åndedrag vi tager Bedre luftkvalitet i Europa: Miljøsignaler 2013 fokuserer på Europas luftkvalitet. I dette års udgave prøver vi at belyse luftkvalitetens nuværende status i Europa, hvor forurenende stoffer kommer fra, hvordan de dannes, og hvordan de påvirker sundheden og miljøet. De skitserer desuden, hvordan vi opnår viden om luftkvalitet, og hvordan vi tager hånd om luftforureningen med en lang række politikker og foranstaltninger.
EEA Miljøsignaler 2012 – At bygge den fremtid, vi ønsker EEA Miljøsignaler 2012 – At bygge den fremtid, vi ønsker Miljøsignaler 2012 samler miljøspørgsmål som bæredygtighed, grøn økonomi, vand, affald, fødevarer, styring og videndeling. De udarbejdes i sammenhæng med FN’s konference om miljø og udvikling – Rio 2012. Miljøsignaler for i år vil give en fornemmelse af, hvordan forbrugere, fremadtænkende virksomheder og politiske beslutningstagere kan gøre en forskel ved kombineret brug af nye teknologiske redskaber – fra satellitobservationer til onlineplatforme. De vil desuden pege på nyskabende og effektive løsninger til bevarelse af miljøet.
Miljøsignaler 2011 - Globaliseringen, miljøet og dig Miljøsignaler 2011 - Globaliseringen, miljøet og dig Miljøsignaler offentliggøres af Det Europæiske Miljøagentur (EEA) i begyndelsen af hvert år. Det er øjebliksbilleder af temaer, der i det kommende år vil være relevante både for den miljøpolitiske debat og den brede offentlighed.
EEA miljøsignaler 2010 - Biodiversitet, klimaforandringer og dig (DA) EEA miljøsignaler 2010 - Biodiversitet, klimaforandringer og dig (DA) Miljøsignaler tager os med på en rejse, hvor vi følger vandet fra gletcherne i Alperne til permafrosten i Arktis og til Gangesdeltaet. Vi vil rejse til velkendte og til fjerne steder og se, hvordan vi kan genetablere vores forhold til de livsvigtige elementer i dagliglivet: vand, jord, luft og de dyr og planter, der danner vævet i livet på Jorden.
