This report draws upon presentations and discussions that took place at a seminar held by the European Environment Agency's (EEA's) Scientific Committee on 17 May 2017.
Domestic and international aviation and shipping are key components of Europe's mobility system. They are both economic sectors that directly bring many societal and economic benefits, such as the delivery of a wide range of goods and services and provision of employment and mobility for personal leisure or business purposes. However, from the broader environmental perspective, both sectors are also seen as challenging, because increasing demand within each of the sectors is exerting increasing pressures on the environment and climate. Their joint consideration in this TERM 2017 report also reflects key similarities, opportunities and challenges between them.
Fuel quality monitoring under the Fuel Quality Directive.
European Environment Agency (EEA) is supporting the Commission in the monitoring of the CO2 performance of passenger cars and vans, according to the European Regulations (EC) 443/2009 and (EU) 510/2011.
This framework for international engagement serves as an operational complement to the EEA International Strategy included in the Agency's Multiannual Work Programme. It provides a structure to support the planning and carrying out of EEA's international activities, specifying the orientation of EEA work in the variety of international contexts described.
Expanding the knowledge base for policy implementation and long-term transitions
This report provides an overview of progress in renewable energy in Europe, based on official statistics until 2015 and preliminary estimates for 2016.
Data reported by companies on the production, import, export and destruction
of fluorinated greenhouse gases in the European Union, 2007-2016.
The ‘Transport and Environment Reporting Mechanism’ (TERM) includes a number of indicators used for tracking the short and long-term environmental performance of the transport sector in the 28 Member States of the European Union (EU-28). This briefing presents the latest indicator-based assessment of progress being made towards key transport-related policy targets and objectives.
This report gives an overview of the EU’s progress towards 29 environmental policy objectives. These are relevant to the achievement of the 7th Environment Action Programme (EAP) three key priority objectives: natural capital; resource-efficient, low-carbon economy; and people’s health and well-being.
Promoting cost-efficient flood risk reduction via green
infrastructure solutions.
The EU Emissions Trading System in numbers
This briefing presents early ‘approximated’ (proxy) estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for 2016 in the European Union (EU), as reported by Member States in July 2017. Detailed results are available in the report, Approximated European Union greenhouse gas inventory: Proxy GHG emission estimates for 2016.
Tracking progress towards Europe's climate and energy targets
Enhancing coherence of the knowledge base, policies and practices.
The report assesses current practices and level of know-how, and highlights emerging innovative tools national, regional and local authorities are using to tackle the impacts of weather- and climate-related hazards.
This report takes a food system approach to analyse
European production, consumption and trade of food,
and associated environmental and human health aspects.
Understanding the patterns, processes and actors involved
allows for more coherent and effective policy interventions to
reduce environmental pressures along the value chain, with
potential co-benefits to human health and well-being.
The report addresses both terrestrial and aquatic food
production and goes beyond the environmental impact
and economic performance of agriculture and fisheries.
The focus is on long-term sustainability objectives, as laid
down in the 2050 vision of the Seventh Environment Action
Programme and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
"Air quality in Europe — 2017 report" presents an updated analysis of air quality and its impacts, based on official data from more than 2 500 monitoring stations across Europe in 2015.
Annual accounts for the European Environment Agency, financial year 2016
Aggregated data reported by companies on the import, export, production, destruction, and feedstock and process agent use of ozone-depleting
substances in the European Union
Landscape is one of the most precious assets
contributing to Europe's cultural identity. As landscape
is determined to a large extent by land use, the study
of land use changes, especially through changes in
the land cover, provides clues to the drivers of the
transitions that landscape is currently going through.
New data on land cover change in Europe up to 2012
show that total land cover change increased from
the 2000‑2006 period to the 2006‑2012 period.
