Environmental information systems
Every five years, as mandated in its founding regulation, the European Environment Agency (EEA) publishes its flagship report on the state of Europe’s environment. Europe's environment 2025 provides decision makers at European and national levels as well as the general public with a comprehensive and cross-cutting assessment on environment, climate and sustainability in Europe. ‘Europe's environment 2025’ is the seventh state of the environment report published by the EEA since 1995.
Launch:
September 2025
The findings of the report will be presented and discussed at the end of September at a series of high-level policy events in Brussels, Belgium, and across Europe. Additional information on launch events, including on registration and streaming, will be shared on this page and through our subscription service in due course.
About Europe's environment 2025
‘Europe’s environment 2025’ draws on the latest scientific evidence and is underpinned by the most comprehensive data on environment, climate and sustainability available in Europe – both temporally and spatially. The overall report consists of three parts:
Main report
Provides an integrated narrative about how environment and climate deliver for people, anchored in the EU’s visions for a sustainable Europe by 2050.
Thematic briefings
Provide a concise and comparable overview of past trends, an outlook to 2030, and an assessment of prospects for meeting EU policy targets for 35 topics on environment and climate as well as enablers for a green transformation.
Country profiles
Provide concise country level assessments drafted by the EEA member countries themselves on key national trends in environment and climate, socio-economic developments, and changes in relation to energy, mobility and food.
The report data comes from and is validated by 38 countries (EU and non-EU). More than 600 national partner institutions contribute to the EEA’s work that is the basis for the report’s robust and reliable data and analysis.
Until then...
Europe's environment 2025 builds on a series of other EEA reports and assessments, including the state of nature, state of water, as well as the sixth edition of our flagship report The European environment — state and outlook 2020: knowledge for transition to a sustainable Europe (SOER 2020). You can access the latest updates through our topic page on the state of Europe's environment.
Outreach partners
In its outreach efforts, the EEA works closely and regularly with Eionet organisations, EU institutions, including EU Agencies, as well as international institutions and bodies. Depending on the project or the issue, the EEA may also cooperate with other organisations, expressing explicit interest in helping us disseminate our findings and messages.
Outreach partner organisations may be granted under-embargo access to our communication tools, and are expected to respect our embargo and copyright rules.
