In this report, we underline the changes that have occurred in the environment and socio-economic context to help explain many of the environmental trends that have been observed. We identify successes and improvements but also
register old legacies that need further effort such as, in particular, air pollution, water issues and contaminated sites. New threats, which challenge
piecemeal solutions and call for integrated strategic measures at European and global levels, are described such as persistent chemicals in the environment, biodiversity loss, sustainable production and consumption and climate change.
And a new overview is given of the state of European marine areas and inland seas.
