The EEA analysis explores action areas and mechanisms on how environment-related SDGs are being put in place via the EEA’s European Environment Information and Observation Network (Eionet). The cross-country analysis and added country profiles aim to improve understanding into the focus and prioritisation of environmental action countries are taking across Europe.
The EEA analysis is based on a mapping and analysis of EEA member and cooperating countries; environmental SDG action and procedures and it contributes to the EU’s SDG monitoring report. Agreed by world leaders at the United Nations in 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which address global challenges, including poverty, inequality, environmental degradation and climate change. The EU was instrumental in shaping the 2030 Agenda and, together with its Member States, has the ambition to play a leading role in the global action towards achieving the SDGs. The EU has adopted a strategic approach to integrating the SDGs in both internal and external policies, and has developed indicators and a stakeholder platform to support SDG action.
As described in the EEA’s ‘European environment — state and outlook 2020 (SOER 2020)’ report, 11 SDGs have been characterized with important environmental dimensions.
