Projected population trends in the Arctic

Data Visualization 14 Jun 2017

Projected change in regional population trends

Permafrost in the Northern hemisphere

Figure 14 Jun 2017

The Arctic region is undergoing change; a rapid change compared to other parts of the globe. The change is primarily driven by climate change and the effects on the cryosphere are substantial both at a local, national and regional scale. The effects even have potential serious consequences at a global scale due to the important role the Arctic plays in the global climate system. The region is set to undergo further changes in the decades to come, and it is important for Europe to understand these changes and to be aware how Europe are contributing as well as effected by these changes as the European environment and weather is intrinsically linked to the Arctic.

Arctic resources

Figure 14 Jun 2017

This map shows the different gas, oil, and mining resources in the Arctic. Receeding ice cover will influence accessibility to mineral and energy resources both on land and in the Continental Shelf in the future. This map also shows both existing and potential sites of mineral and energy resources in the Arctic region.

Proportion of area of classes of natural and environmental assets within in EU Member States with mountains

Figure 03 Jan 2011

The graph shows the percentages of the different environmental assets classes of the mountain area.

Proportions of habitat types in each massif classified by conservation status

Figure 03 Jan 2011

The graph shows the proportions of habitat types in each massif classified by conservation status.

Digital map of European ecological regions

Data 20 Mar 2003

The Digital Map of European Ecological Regions DMEER- delineates and describes ecological distinct areas in Europe, on the basis of climatic, topographic and geobotanical European data, together with the judgement of a large team of experts from several European nature related Institutions and the WWF
