The EEA brings together scientific knowledge and expertise, with the aim of providing vital analysis and data to help develop, implement and evaluate a large number of European policies and legislation, with a particular focus on the European Green Deal. Our policy corner links a selection of EU policies we support with relevant EEA knowledge.

European Green Deal: the main focus of our policy support work

The European Green Deal, together with the 8th Environment Action Programme, lies at the heart of the EU's sustainability packages and policy measures. All our assessments and data aim to provide support to help monitor progress, ensure better implementation and improve policymaking processes, which underpin the delivery of the goals set in the European Green Deal.

Our key knowledge products by EU policy
