State of the Environment reporting in Europe: United in diversity
For the European Environment Agency (EEA), the publication of ‘The European environment – state and outlook (SOER) 2020’ marked 25 years of SoE reporting and contribution to EU environmental policy. For the occasion, the EEA, together with the Eionet has co-created a specific infographic representing key EU, EEA and UN milestones that impacted the development of SOER 2020, as well as improvements in the content, methodology and outlook for future developments of SoE reporting. Inspired by - and following the same logic of this overarching infographic - 26 Eionet countries prepared their own infographics, tailored to their national SoE reporting advances.
These infographics and the 4 narratives presented on this web page provide a comprehensive overview of the history and development of environment reporting in Europe, and underline their diverse features.
Read the four narratives
- Information and knowledge for a sustainable environment:
provides background on content, methodology and outlook for future developments of SoE reporting.
- The evolution of state of the environment reporting:
showcases the history of SoE reporting highlighting SoE reporting in The Netherlands from 1988 to today.
- The value of state of the environment reporting to environmental policy:
reflects on the contribution and impact of SoE reporting, highlighting the Slovak Republic.
- Taking a broader perspective: the knowledge-sharing community:
emphasizes the role of the EEA Eionet network in the field of integrated environmental and sustainability assessments.
Acknowledgements: The infographics on State of the Environment reporting are co-created by the National Reference Centres for State of the Environment reporting (NRC-SoE) that are part of the European Environment Information and Observation Network (Eionet) and the EEA as part of the SOER 2020. Support was provided by the European Topic Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (ETC/SCP). Kees Schotten (EEA) was responsible for the overall coordination.
