The EEA aims to deliver timely, targeted, relevant and reliable information to policy makers and the public – environmental indicators play a key role in this. This annex provides an overview of the 225 environmental indicators hosted by the EEA. Besides indicator names and codes, this overview also provides information on the role of the indicator within the DSPIR model and on the type of indicators following the EEA's indicator typology (see Chapter 3).

EEA indicators are accessible at: www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators.
