Left chart: The extent of land take during 2012-2018 (in percentage of the 2012 value) in protected areas of the FUAs is presented in the barchart, broken down by countries and protection type. The dataset covers the entire EEA-39 region but the figure only presents EU-27+UK countries. Right map: Land take is derived from comparing the Urban Atlas 2012 and 2018 datasets of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. Land take is expressed as the converted area in percentage of the 2012 land cover extent (percentage of non-urban land cover in 2012 that is converted to urban land cover by 2018). The dataset covers the entire EEA-39 region but te map only presents EU-27+UK countries.
Collection rates for plastic waste from most non-packaging sources are lower than rates for waste from the packaging sector. This is likely to be the result of the longer lifetime of non-packaging items, which leads to a build-up in homes and businesses of non-packaging plastic stocks-both of products in use and of those no longer in use, but kept in storage.
The figure shows the number of Member States that are below their reduction commitments and the aggregated groups with number of Member States that are above.
The table shows the countries' reporting performance on the basis of Eionet Core Data Flows since 2005
Future key climate hazards and their qualitative trend as reported by countries under the Governance Regulation - National adaptation actions, split in groups of hazard types and in acute and chronic events.
The map shows the proportion of premature deaths from all neoplasms that are attributable to environmental carcinogens considered within the Global Burden of Disease Study
The figure shows the number of Member States that are below their reduction commitments and the aggregated groups with number of Member States that are above.
The chart shows the development in the generation of municipal waste per inhabitant for the period 2015-2020
The figure illustrate the average levels of carbon stocks in marine and terrestrial ecosystems.The “x” in the figure represents the average level whereas the green and blue boxes signify the median values and the range is characterised by the individual dots. For further explanation of uncertainties see Box 1. For more detailed information on datasets please use the linked dataset
The map shows the urban waste water treatment plants treating more than 2000 population equivalent equipped with different types of disinfection in Europe. The map is based on country reporting under Urban waste water treatment directive (271/91/EEC) in 2020 (reference year 2018).
The chart compares the current residual and total municipal waste generation against 3 possible scenarios: 1) Business as usual (with a 3.7 % increase in total municipal waste) while meeting the 60 % recycling target; 2) A solution scenario, with a 3.7 % increase in total municipal waste that would be offset by 73 % recycling rate; 3) A solution scenario in which the 60 % recycling target would be met, and 34 % of total waste would be prevented
The chart illustrates the trends in total municipal waste for EU-27 from 2004 to 2020. Moreover, it illustrates the projections for waste generation for 2030, considering two scenarios present at a European Commission report.
The chart illustrates the trends in residual municipal waste for EU-27 from 2004 to 2020. Moreover, it shows the non-binding target of residual waste for 2030 (and the corresponding necessary trend line to achieve such target)
