We inform public and policy discussions
on sustainability solutions and challenges

We collect, quality check and disseminate data,

Innovating and working together for a more sustainable future in Europe

The year 2025 has been marked by significant collective achievement around our five-yearly report, renewed strategic direction and a deepened sense of shared purpose across the EEA-Eionet community. The past months have showcased not only the strength of our network but also the increasing importance of innovation, agility and digitalisation in how we generate, create and deliver environmental knowledge for Europe.
