Additional information

For some countries the reporting of some gases, mainly the fluorinated gases (and if a few number of cases of N2O), was incomplete. Because of the relatively low weight of the F-gases in total greenhouse gas emissions, the trends presented in the chart above should reflect rather accurately the development of total greenhouse gas emissions in the four regions. Index 1990 = 100. The volume of emissions in million tonnes of CO2-equivalents in 1990 was: EU25 = 5 231; EECCA = 4 630; SEE = 620; EFTA = 106.

Environmental trends and perspectives in the Western Balkans: future production and consumption patterns Environmental trends and perspectives in the Western Balkans: future production and consumption patterns This report looks at the forces shaping the future of the environment in the Western Balkans, in particular at the role of consumption and production patterns. It begins with a review of key recent environmental trends in the region, then analyses the global, European, regional and national drivers — such as social, political and economic — that are shaping production and consumption patterns. Addressing environmental challenges in a sustainable manner requires a close review of plausible future developments in other sectors and the potential implications of these drivers on the environment. At the end report also looks at how different actors in the region can act to shape environmental futures. The report takes a futures perspective because the countries of the Western Balkan are at a turning point in the development of their economies, societies and environment. This is important as in the long term, political, economic and other changes may exacerbate some environmental problems, create new ones and provide the means to address existing issues. The report also closely reviews and assesses how can available information support region-wide forward-looking integrated environment assessment.
Europe's environment — The fourth assessment Europe's environment — The fourth assessment In this report, we underline the changes that have occurred in the environment and socio-economic context to help explain many of the environmental trends that have been observed. We identify successes and improvements but also register old legacies that need further effort such as, in particular, air pollution, water issues and contaminated sites. New threats, which challenge piecemeal solutions and call for integrated strategic measures at European and global levels, are described such as persistent chemicals in the environment, biodiversity loss, sustainable production and consumption and climate change. And a new overview is given of the state of European marine areas and inland seas.
