What is the state of Europe’s environment and climate? What challenges are we facing, and what can we do to build a more sustainable future?

Every five years, as mandated in its founding regulation, the European Environment Agency (EEA) publishes its state of the environment report. The latest edition, Europe's environment 2025 provides vital, up-to-date information on our changing environment and climate, the challenges we face, and our journey towards sustainability.

Europe’s environment 2025 is the 7th state of the environment report published by the EEA since 1995.

The Europe's Environment 2025 report:

  • examines the current state and outlook of Europe's environment and climate, and the sustainability transition;
  • measures progress towards EU environment and climate targets;
  • looks at how the natural world underpins Europe’s economy, prosperity, competitiveness and security;
  • explores solutions to help achieve the EU’s ambition to live well, within the limits of our planet and to become the first climate-neutral continent.
