EWENT: Extreme weather impacts on European networks of transport — 09 Sep 2016

The EWENT project (Extreme Weather impacts on European Networks of Transport) is a direct partner activity to WEATHER, funded under Task TPT.2008.1 by the Directorate General for Research and Technical Development (DG-RTD).  The project , coordinated by Finland's VTT, will take a generic risk management approach, starting with the identification of hazardous extreme weather phenomena, and following up with impact assessments and recommended mitigation and risk control measures.

European Green Leaf Award — 23 Aug 2016

European Green Leaf is the gain recognition for your environmental achievements The European Green Leaf is a new competition aimed at cities and towns, with between 20,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, that recognises commitment to better environmental outcomes, with a particular accent on efforts that generate green growth and new jobs. The objectives of the European Green Leaf are threefold:     - To recognise cities that demonstrate a good environmental record and commitment to generating green growth;    - To encourage cities to actively develop citizens’ environmental awareness and involvement;    - To identify cities able to act as a ‘green ambassador’ and to encourage other cities to progress towards a better sustainability outcomes. The European Green Leaf is awarded each year by the European Commission in conjunction with the European Green Capital Award. Eight cities from seven countries across Europe applied for the pilot 2015 European Green Leaf competition.

European Green Capital Award — 23 Aug 2016

The European Green Capital Award is a prestigious title, and one which is pursued by cities all across Europe. Since the 2014 competition cycle, the European Green Capital has become an annual award. Seven cities applied to the current―2018―cycle, 12 for both the 2017 and 2016 cycles, eight for 2015, and 18 for 2014. Prior to the 2014 competition cycle the European Green Capital Award was a biannual competition. For the 2012 and 2013 titles, 17 applied. For the 2010 and 2011 title, a further 35 cities applied.

European air quality maps of PM and ozone for 2013 and their uncertainty ETC/ACM — 09 Aug 2016

The paper provides the annual update of the European air quality concentration maps, probabilities of exceeding relevant thresholds and population exposure estimates for human health related indicators of pollutants PM10 (annual average, 36th highest daily average), PM2.5 (annual average) and ozone (26th highest daily max. 8-hr running average, SOMO35), and vegetation related indicators (AOT40 for crops and for forests for the year 2013. The exposure estimates are compared to the results of previous years 2005-2011. The analysis is based on interpolation of annual statistics of the 2013 observational data reported by EEA Member countries in 2014 and stored in the Air Quality e-reporting database. The paper presents the mapping results and includes an uncertainty analysis of the interpolated maps. These maps, with their spatial exceedance and exposure estimates, are intended to be used for the assessment of European air quality by the EEA and its ETC/ACM, and for (interactive visual) public information purposes through the EEA website.

Europeanisation of Spatial Planning in the Netherlands mapped out — 03 Aug 2016

One of the priorities of the Dutch EU presidency is the European Better Regulation Agenda. A particular cause for concern within this agenda is the fragmentation of EU policy. In this context, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency investigated the effects of fragmented EU policies on Dutch spatial planning. The publication ‘The Europeanisation of spatial planning in the Netherlands’ concludes that the national government should retain an active role in spatial planning to ensure policy coordination.
