    Tracking barriers and their impacts on European river ecosystems. European Environment Agency.
    Publication
    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2021]
    Summary
    The importance of free-flowing rivers that allow free movement of water, sediment, fish and other organisms is increasingly recognised by EU environmental policy, in particular the water framework directive and the biodiversity strategy for 2030. However, the large number of barriers on our rivers has resulted in a loss of river continuity. This briefing addresses the following questions: What is the density of barriers on rivers? What do we know about their impacts on rivers? How can we improve the European knowledge base on barriers in rivers?

    Multiple pressures and their combined effects in Europe’s seas. European Environment Agency.
    Publication
    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2021]
    Summary
    Europe's seas are overexploited. Most of Europe's marine area (93 %) is under multiple pressures from human activities, which have reached the most remote areas. The EU's maritime economy will not be sustainable unless it is confined to the current ecological limits of marine ecosystems. That means decoupling human activities on land and sea from the degradation and depletion of marine ecosystem capital. This briefing summarises a spatial assessment of the multiple pressures on Europe's seas.

    Nature-based solutions in Europe policy, knowledge and practice for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction [er]. European Environment Agency.
    Publication
    Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2021.
    Summary
    Climate change, biodiversity loss and degradation of ecosystems are interdependent and pose significant societal challenges, threatening economic and social stability, public health and well-being. The World Economic Forum considers extreme weather- and climate-related events and biodiversity loss to be among the five most imminent global risks (WEF, 2020). Fighting climate change and preventing ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss are highly interdependent, requiring increased coherency between their respective policy agendas and actions.

    Transport and environment report 2020 [er] : train or plane? European Environment Agency.
    Publication
    Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2021.
    Summary
    The aim of this report is to inform decision-makers on the current status and environmental impact of rail and air passenger travel in Europe. Furthermore, the report looks at how travel choices and their environmental impacts relate to the existing policy context: which factors influence the future environmental performance of these modes, and which policies and actions can promote more environmentally sustainable choices? To come to a satisfactory answer, it is vital to understand the environmental consequences of travelling by rail and air in mainland Europe. This is assessed both in general and for a variety of actual connections between European cities.

    Rail and waterborne [er] : best for low-carbon motorised transport. European Environment Agency.
    Publication
    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2021]
    Summary
    A new study commissioned by the EEA shows a clear hierarchy of passenger and freight transport modes, in terms of their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Rail and waterborne transport have the lowest emissions per kilometre and unit transported, while aviation and road transport emit significantly more. Alongside shifting to rail and waterborne transport, improving the GHG efficiency of all motorised forms of transport remains an important objective. Moreover, monitoring their GHG efficiency on a regular basis would support these efforts. While active modes, such as walking and cycling, are outside the scope of the study, they are an obvious choice for clean and sustainable mobility because their emissions can be assumed to be close to zero.

    Water and agriculture [er] : towards sustainable solutions. European Environment Agency.
    Publication
    Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2021.
    Summary
    This report was initiated following the EEA's 2018 assessment of the status of and pressures on European waters, to highlight the role of agriculture in achieving an improved status of surface water and groundwater in future river basin management plans (EEA, 2018b; EC, 2019c). The EEA's 5-yearly state of the environment assessment further highlights the need for an increasingly systemic approach to overcome environmental challenges and to achieve sustainability. In this report we analyse how agricultural production affects water quality and quantity, and aquatic ecosystems, as well as the relevant policy interventions. With the aim of addressing how the water‑agriculture‑food system could be better managed, the assessment is organised around two guiding questions: How does the current system of managing agricultural pressures on water work? What is needed to improve environmental outcomes?

    Health risks caused by environmental noise in Europe [er]. European Environment Agency.
    Publication
    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2020]
    Summary
    This briefing assesses the health risks due to exposure to environmental noise in Europe using three indicators to measure, monitor and communicate the impacts of noise pollution on health: (1) exposure to noise above recommended levels established by the World Health Organization; (2) number of people suffering health effects from exposure to noise; (3) burden of disease from noise. The indicators are derived from data submitted to the EEA under the EU Environmental Noise Directive and will be used to inform the development of future targets to reduce the health impacts of noise.

    Growth without economic growth [er]. European Environment Agency.
    Publication
    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2021]
    Summary
    Economic growth is closely linked to increases in production, consumption and resource use and has detrimental effects on the natural environment and human health. It is unlikely that a long-lasting, absolute decoupling of economic growth from environmental pressures and impacts can be achieved at the global scale; therefore, societies need to rethink what is meant by growth and progress and their meaning for global sustainability.

    Measures to reduce emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases [er] : the potential for synergies. European Environment Agency.
    Publication
    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2020]
    Summary
    Actions taken to reduce emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases often address the same economic sectors but are reported separately under different EU legislation. This briefing presents an overview of the latest policies and measures reported by Member States to tackle air pollution, as required under the National Emission reduction Commitments (NEC) Directive. It includes an analysis of synergies with the policies reported under the Regulation on a mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions (Monitoring Mechanism Regulation), highlighting the importance of coherence between these domains.

    The EU emissions trading system in 2020 [er] : trends and projections. European Environment Agency.
    Publication
    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2020]
    Summary
    The European Union's energy system is decarbonising rapidly. In 2019, emissions from stationary installations covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) declined by 9.1 %. Further reductions are expected in 2020, partially because of the Covid-19 crisis. However, significant further cuts in emissions remain necessary to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The auctioning of emission allowances can turn into a significant source of revenues to support climate investments. This briefing provides an overview of past and projected emission trends under the EU ETS.

    Cross-border cooperation on renewable energy [er]. European Environment Agency.
    Publication
    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2020]
    Summary
    As part of its objective to achieve a climate neutral energy system, the EU has been encouraging regional cooperation on renewable energy. This may take the form of joint renewable energy projects, support schemes or statistical transfers. Despite the clear and abundant benefits of such cooperation, few Member States have embarked on cross-border projects. This briefing analyses the barriers holding countries back and makes recommendations to overcome the challenges, based on the experience of three case studies on cooperation between Denmark and Germany, Norway and Sweden, and Ireland and the United Kingdom.
