The figure shows Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and plastic packaging waste generated per person in EU-27, between 2011 and 2020, and total waste generation between 2010 and 2020.
The figure shows estimated Market Demand in 2021 for the EU-27 plus United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Norwey in percentages. The above data are rounded estimations. Demand data are built on estimations of quantities bought by European converters, including imports. Demand for recycled plastics and bio-based/bio-attributed plastics is not included. Polymers that are not used in the conversion of plastic parts and products (i.e. for textiles, adhesives, sealants, coatings, etc.) are not included.

The example present results from EEA's regular mapping for the indicators ‘Imperviousness and imperviousness change in Europe’, for the inventory year 2018.
Water exploitation index plus (WEI+) illustrates the percentage of water use versus water available in the respective subbasin.
The graph presents trend with the area of the European Union affected by water scarcity conditions between 2000-2019. Water scarcity conditions is adopted, i.e. when WEI+ values are above 20% for at least a quarter of the year in a given river sub basin; annual quarters are: Q1 (January-March), Q2 (April-June), Q3 (July-September), Q4 (October-December). No sufficient data available from Italy, hence Italian river basins have not been included in the analysis.
This figure gives an overview of the worst quarterly water scarcity conditions (maximum WEI+ in a consecutive 3-month period) of 2019 across countries in Europe. Seasonal WEI+ values are estimated as quarterly averages per country. The worst quarter of the year for water scarcity conditions is provided in brackets next to the name of the country. Annual quarters are: Q1 (January-March), Q2 (April-June), Q3 (July-September), Q4 (October-December). No data is available for Montenegro and Lichtenstein.
The figure shows EU underwater radiated noise (URN) emissions per sea basin per year.
The figure shows the potential number of oil spills each year as detected by the CleanSeaNet service.
This data shows median of marine litter items by beach and marine region, based on Marine Litter Watch (MLW) dataset in the period 2013-2020.
Datasets showing SO2 (2014 and 2019), NOx (2019), PM2.5 (2019) emissions in European shipping areas. These datasets have been prepared in relation to the development of the first European Maritime Transport Environmental Report (EMSA-EEA report, 2021: https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/maritime-transport).
This viewer presents the combined health impact of air pollution and road traffic noise at 1km x 1km resolution in cities where data is available. The impact of air pollution is measured in terms of mortality and the impact of road noise pollution is measured in terms of long-term high annoyance. The viewer is based on data submitted under the Environmental Noise Directive and the Air Quality Directive and represents the situation in 2017.
Solid coloured boxes show the ensemble mean value and coloured shading shows the inter‐model variability (from worst to best case). The mean value for the entire European coastline and values for the coasts of 10 geographical regions are shown. N-North, northern part of the North Atlantic; S-North Atlantic, southern part of the North Atlantic; RCP, representative concentration pathway; RCP4.5: medium emissions scenario; RCP8.5: high emissions scenario
This maps show the estimated multiplication factor, by which the frequency of flooding events of a given height changes between 2010 and 2100 due to projected regional sea relative level rise under the RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 scenarios. Values larger than 1 indicate an increase in flooding frequency. Adapted from Figure 4.12 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere (SROCC).
This table presents the definition of six management steps (site status) which characterise the management status of contaminated sites.
This table presents explanations of terms used to understand the management of contaminated sites.
The figure presents the trend in the number of registered potentially contaminated sites in 2006, 2011 and 2016.
