Global sustainability challenges increasingly raise concerns about the stability of the Earth system that supports all life on our planet. A joint study (April 2020) by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN),  focuses on four critical elements of that system, such as the nitrogen cycle and changes… [Read more]

EEA: Robust monitoring and targets are key in shifting Europe to a more circular economy

April 7, 2020

Introducing more robust monitoring and targets to spur Europe’s move to a circular economy would help improve resource efficiency, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report published recently. The EEA report ‘Resource efficiency and the circular economy in Europe 2019 — even more from less’ gives an overview and assesses the results of a… [Read more]

EEA Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases 2019 Report notes progress on F-gas phase-down

February 5, 2020

The amount of ‘super-greenhouse’ hydrofluorocarbon gases (HFCs) placed on the EU market remained below the limit allowed under regulations for the third consecutive year, according to the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases 2019 report of the European Environment Agency (EEA Report No 20/2019). The EEA data report that HFC consumption fell 38% in the EU in 2018,… [Read more]

European Environment Agency’s state of environment report outlines the scale and urgency of environmental challenges facing Europe

Private consumption: Textiles EU’s fourth largest cause of environmental pressures after food, housing, transport

November 24, 2019

Consumption of clothing, footwear and household textiles in the European Union (EU) uses annually about 1.3 tonnes of raw materials and more than 100 cubic metres of water per person, according to a European Environment Agency briefing. A wide-scale change towards circular economy in textiles production and consumption is needed to reduce its greenhouse gas… [Read more]

Climate change: Significant drop in EU emissions in 2018 but further effort needed to reach 2030 target

November 4, 2019

The European Union (EU) cut its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2 % in 2018, according to preliminary estimates released today by the European Environment Agency (EEA). However, rising energy consumption continues to hamper progress on the share of energy generated by renewable sources and on energy efficiency. As in previous years, the transport sector… [Read more]

Cutting air pollution in Europe would prevent early deaths, improve productivity and curb climate change, according to EEA

October 18, 2019

Europe’s air is getting cleaner but persistent pollution, especially in cities, still damages people’s health and the economy. The European Environment Agency’s (EEA) new analysis on air quality shows that exposure to air pollution caused about 400,000 premature deaths in the European Union (EU) in 2016. The EEA’s ‘Air quality in Europe — 2019 report’… [Read more]

EEA: “Europe’s circular economy still in its infancy”

October 4, 2019

Circular material use can minimise waste and resource extraction, improve resource efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to conserving biodiversity. However, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report, circular economy initiatives in Europe are still at an early stage and would benefit from more investments in upscaling promising innovations and in monitoring progress… [Read more]
