Environmental information systems
We will only achieve ambitious environmental goals by stimulating fundamental changes in unsustainable lifestyles, production and consumption. The EEA assesses trends and prospects across environmental priorities, sectors, systems and policies, and engages stakeholders on the innovations and other responses needed to achieve the European Green Deal.
The path towards sustainability requires interconnected responses to a complex web of drivers throughout society. In 2021, the EEA delivered assessments and indicators in support of EU sustainability ambitions and underlying policy processes, including:
- A report on Knowledge for action – empowering the transition to a sustainable Europe
- Improved indicators on sustainability transitions
- Continued contributions to the development of the EU sustainable finance taxonomy
- Contributions in the field of economics, including the report on green growth and economic resilience
- Work on the role of cities in sustainability transitions, with a focus on the EU Urban Agenda
- Work to support the European Commission on foresight; cooperation with other foresight actors such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
