This chart shows the change in energy consumption of EU Member States in 2020 compared to 2005, and their 2020 targets.
Data: 2020
The existing European Union’s (EU) monitoring framework for circular economy was established to track how the EU is transitioning to a more circular economy. To avoid unnecessary added costs and quickly establishing the EU’s monitoring framework, it has been predominantly based on existing data and covers essential elements of the transition. To complement this macro-view on how circular economy progresses in Europe, the European Environment Agency is exploring opportunities to collect new types of data generated for other purposes and, working with other partners, use them to better understand this transformation of Europe’s economy.

This raster dataset represents the probability of occurrence of whales in the Europe Seas, where the species included are: Blue whale, Sei whale, Humpback whale, Sperm whale, Fin whale and Northern right whale.
Areas burnt by wildfires (2000-2017), Jan. 2020
This vector dataset presents the extent of areas in European countries directly affected by wildfires (period 2000-2017). This dataset can be used as one of the indications where the danger of wildfires may persist or increase in the future under the changing climate.
This raster dataset represents risk of collision of whales with vessels in the Europe Seas. Species included are: Blue whale, Sei whale, Humpback whale, Sperm whale, Fin whale and Northern right whale.
The northern right whale model only describes the range of the western population of this species, since the eastern population is probably almost extinct. Thus, the northern right whale model only partly overlaps with the EEA area on interest.
To produce and handle all clothing, footwear and household textiles purchased by EU-27 households in 2020, an estimated 121 million tonnes of CO₂ were emitted (270 kg CO₂ equivalent per person), making this consumption domain the fifth highest impact category after housing, food, transport and recreation. Only 27% of CO₂ emissions take place within Europe.
To produce and handle all clothing, footwear and household textiles purchased by EU-27 households in 2020, an estimated 180 000 km² of land was used (400 m² per person), making this consumption domain the third highest impact category after food and housing. Only 8% of land use takes place within Europe.
To produce and handle all clothing, footwear and household textiles purchased by EU-27 households in 2020, an estimated 175 million tonnes of primary raw materials was used (391 kg per person), making this consumption domain the fifth highest impact category. Only 20% of primary material consumption takes place within Europe, which is the lowest ratio of all consumption domains, and shows that environmental impacts are exported to other parts of the world.
