The figure shows the premature deaths attributed to long-term exposure to PM2.5 above the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) guideline level in EU-27 in the period 2005-2020. The linear trend of that time series and the estimated year by which the Zero Pollution Action Plan (ZPAP) target (by 2030, minimum 55% reduction of the premature deaths occurred in 2005) would be met if the premature deaths are reduced following that linear trend.
The figure shows changes in cadmium, mercury, and lead emissions between 2005 and 2020, based on data reported by EU Member States under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution. Red dots indicate an increase in emissions and blue dots indicate a decrease.
The figure shows changes in cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) emissions between 2005 and 2020, based on data reported by EU Member States under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution.
The 'GISCO NUTS 2021' data set represents the NUTS 2021 regulation and statistical regions by means of multipart polygon, polyline and point topology. The NUTS geographical information is completed by attribute tables and a set of cartographic help lines to better visualize multipart polygonal regions. Public access to the full data set is not possible due to intellectual property rights.
This metadata refer to the vector dataset presenting, for NUTS3 regions, the average travel time to the nearest hospital in 2020. The data has been developed by Eurostat to measure how easily basic services can be reached by the resident population, based on spatial analyses of the location of healthcare facilities, combined with the road network. Healthcare facility were computed (note this could have been across a national border).
The regional seas around Europe are the Baltic Sea, the Barents Sea, the Black Sea, the Iceland Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the North-east Atlantic Ocean, the Norwegian Sea, and the White Sea. The regional seas are harmonised with existing boundaries established under the Regional Sea Conventions (OSPAR, HELCOM, Barcelona, and Bucharest Convention) and MSFD regions and subregions, as agreed by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive Committee in November 2016.
This data set show the European agriculture area in 2018 at 100m spatial resolution, covering EEA38 member countries and the United Kingdom. The raster value is 1 when agricultural area is identified and NoData for other land cover / land uses.
This cluster columns chart shows development in landfill rate of municipal waste in European countries in 2010 and 2020. Data is presented in descending order according to 2020 data values. Line chart represents EU landfill target for 2035
The figure combines two charts. The stacked chart shows the amounts and percentage of waste (excluding major mineral waste) deposited in landfills in the EU27. The line chart shows amounts landfilled for major waste categories (household and similar waste, combustion waste, sorting residues and other waste).
Recycling rates of municipal and packaging waste as well as overall waste relate to waste generated in the same year. Recycling of municipal waste includes material recycling and composting/anaerobic digestion. The recycling rate of electrical and electronic waste relates to the average quantity of electrical and electronic equipment put on the market in the previous three years. The overall recycling rate excludes major mineral wastes.
The figure shows waste generation, excluding major mineral wastes, per capita by European countries. Data presented in form of bar chart are displayed as a comparison of the reference (2010) and last available year.
This figure shows indexed values of waste generation per capita and gross domestic product (GDP) with year 2010 as a reference year (2010=100%). Production phase shows generation of total waste and waste excluding major mineral wastes. Gross domestic product (GDP) was chosen as a basic indicator of the economic growth as it expresses the total value of goods and services produced in the country (the components of GDP include personal consumption expenditures plus business investment plus government spending plus (exports minus imports)).
All Member States are requested by EU Regulation 1143/2014 to report every 6 years on the Invasive Alien Species (IAS) of Union, of regional and of Member State concern and to provide information on cross-cutting issues of the implementation of the Regulation.
