The index magnitude of meteorological droughts combines information about the duration and severity of droughts. It is defined as the positive sum of the SPI for all the months within drought events in a given year, thereby giving more weight to months with severe droughts than those with less severe droughts (see the ETC-CCA Technical Paper for details). For consistency with ‘Duration of meteorological droughts’ above, this index is also based on SPI-3 and a threshold of -1 is used to identify drought occurrences. Alternative aggregation periods for SPI can be used depending on the type of drought considered and the specific applications.
The map composition intends to show the different granularity, i.e. spatial resolution, between Corine Land Cover and Urban Atlas datasets, providing three examples in three different cities from different countries.
Left chart: The extent of land take during 2012-2018 (in percentage of the 2012 value) in protected areas of the FUAs is presented in the barchart, broken down by countries and protection type. The dataset covers the entire EEA-39 region but the figure only presents EU-27+UK countries. Right map: Land take is derived from comparing the Urban Atlas 2012 and 2018 datasets of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. Land take is expressed as the converted area in percentage of the 2012 land cover extent (percentage of non-urban land cover in 2012 that is converted to urban land cover by 2018). The dataset covers the entire EEA-39 region but te map only presents EU-27+UK countries.
Collection rates for plastic waste from most non-packaging sources are lower than rates for waste from the packaging sector. This is likely to be the result of the longer lifetime of non-packaging items, which leads to a build-up in homes and businesses of non-packaging plastic stocks-both of products in use and of those no longer in use, but kept in storage.
The figure shows the number of Member States that are below their reduction commitments and the aggregated groups with number of Member States that are above.
The table shows the countries' reporting performance on the basis of Eionet Core Data Flows since 2005
A significant proportion of Europe's urban population lives in cities where EU air quality standards for the protection of human health are regularly exceeded. Air pollution continues to have significant impacts on the health of Europeans, particularly in urban areas. These health impacts have economic costs, cutting short lives, increasing medical costs and reducing productivity through lost working days. The pollutants with the most serious impacts on human health are particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone.
