These cross-cutting stories have been developed as part of the EEA's zero pollution monitoring assessment to provide additional context and illustrate the cross-cutting nature of pollution issues.
These stories cover the three elements of the monitoring assessment: production/consumption, ecosystems and health. These stories are not exhaustive, but the examples provided highlight that integrated solutions are needed to address the complex and interlinked nature of environmental pollution, in line with the zero pollution principle of ‘prevention in all policies’.
Navigate here on the 5 cross-cutting stories:
- Cross-cutting story 1: Pathways towards zero pollution from plastics
- Cross-cutting story 2: The role of the National Emissions reduction Commitments Directive in reducing air pollution
- Cross-cutting story 3: PFAS
- Cross-cutting story 4: Nutrients
- Cross-cutting story 5: Co-benefits of addressing climate change and pollution
