Policies to reduce air pollution have led to improved air quality in Europe over the last three decades. However, in some European cities air pollution still poses risks to health. You can use the European city air viewer to check how the air quality was in your city over the past two years and to compare it with air quality in other cities across Europe.
The figure shows the trend in total emissions of the main air pollutants, indexed as a percentage of their value in the reference year 2005
The figure shows the contributions of the main source sectors to the emissions of key air pollutants in the EU-27 in 2020.
The table shows the top five emission reduction changes in pollutant releases into water in EU-27 Member States from 2010 to 2021.
The figure shows the trend of pollutant releases into water in the EU-27 from 2010 to 2021 by using 2010 releases values as reference. In addition, gross value added (GVA) from the industry sector is presented.
Economic damages, insured economic damages and fatalities per hazard type Hazard types: meteorological hazards, hydrological hazards, climatological hazards (heatwaves), climatological hazards (other).
Economic damages, insured economic damages and fatalities per hazard type
For the purpose of this indicator, weather and climate-related extreme events are defined as meteorological events (storms, mass movements), hydrological events (floods) and climatological events (heatwaves, cold waves, droughts, forest fires). Total economic damages, in EUR billion (2021 values), are based on records from Catastrophe Database (CATDAT) provided by RiskLayer (dataset url is not available) and Eurostat structural indicators.
