End-user GHG emissions from energy [er] : reallocation of emissions from energy industries to end users 2005-2010 — summary. European Environment Agency.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2012.

Summary

The objective of this report (1) is to help improve the understanding of past greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends in the energy sector from the demand or end‑user side. To do this, the report develops a methodology to redistribute emissions from energy industries to the final users (by sector) of that energy. This reallocation is done on the basis of Eurostat's energy balances and GHG inventories for the energy sector as reported to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for the period 2005–2010.

Invasive alien species indicators in Europe [er] : a review of streamlining European biodiversity (SEBI) Indicator 10. European Environment Agency.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2012.

Summary

To support the 'Streamlining European 2010 Biodiversity Indicators' (SEBI 2010) process, the European Environment Agency (EEA) commissioned a study to revisit and further develop the indicator 'Invasive alien species in Europe'. The aim of the current project is to critically review and improve this indicator, and propose an updated methodology. Further, options for methodologies of new indicators, which monitor IAS over time across Europe, will be discussed. Particular attention is given to closely linking the indicator(s) to recent biodiversity policy goals and developments.

The impacts of invasive alien species in Europe [er]. European Environment Agency.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2012.

Summary

Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the most important direct drivers of biodiversity loss and ecosystem service changes, and constitute the greatest threat to fragile ecosystems such as islands. Although the introduction of alien species is known to bring benefits to specific sectors of society and produce high economic profit and social welfare in the short term, they may have far-reaching and harmful effects on biodiversity and natural resources for generations. IAS can also affect human life and health and cause serious economic damage to agriculture, forestry and fisheries, which is estimated to be at least EUR 12 billion per year in Europe alone. Raising awareness of the issue and providing up-to-data scientific information is an essential requirement to achieve the EU and global 2020 biodiversity targets, particularly in the light of the current work on developing EU legislation to combat IAS. The purpose of this report is to raise awareness and inform stakeholders, decision-makers, policymakers and the general public about the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of IAS. The European Environment Agency (EEA) and the Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) have therefore shared expertise in producing this joint report.

Territorial cohesion and water management in Europe [er] : the spatial perspective. European Environment Agency.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2012.

Summary

This report considers the links between water management in the EU — especially the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) — and territorial cohesion, in the perspective of spatial analysis and spatial planning. It looks at the role of spatial analysis and planning for the implementation of the Directive as well as related provisions such as the Floods Directive and the development and implementation of River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs). It considers links between Regional Policy and water management in the EU, including the lessons from a spatial perspective. It further looks at cross-country cooperation, a key element of both the WFD and territorial cohesion and finally considers future challenges for implementation of the Directive and the development of RBMPs, in particular considering the spatial context.

Reporting and exchanging air quality information using e-Reporting [er]. European Environment Agency.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2012.

Summary

Recent European Union (EU) legislation provides an opportunity to streamline European air quality data reporting and exchange. There is a strong business case to move towards more automated assessment in the area of air quality by organising and harmonising data and information, and by following standardised approaches. This report explores options and identifies the legal requirements necessary in order to update and facilitate the electronic reporting and exchange. A number of EU legal instruments require EU Member States to monitor and report air quality data. This information is collated, analysed and shared by the European Environment Agency (EEA). To date much of the data is reported electronically by the countries concerned, but not necessarily in the best integrated fashion. The introduction of the European Commission Implementing Decision 2011/850/EU of 12 December 2011 (laying down rules for the air quality directive in force as regards the reciprocal exchange of information and reporting on ambient air quality) provides an opportunity to modernise data reporting, improve data quality, facilitate information sharing and reduce the administrative burden of reporting. The Implementing Decision applies from 1 January 2014. In order to manage and facilitate the transition process, the Member State's reporting authorities, their data providers and the EEA's operational services will need to work closely together to establish and test the new reporting process.

The impacts of endocrine disrupters on wildlife, people and their environments [er] : the Weybridge+15 (1996 2011) report European Environment Agency.

Publication

Luxembourg: Publications Office, 2012.

Summary

Rates of endocrine diseases and disorders, such as some reproductive and developmental harm in human populations, have changed in line with the growth of the chemical industry, leading to concerns that these factors may be linked. For example, the current status of semen quality in the few European countries where studies have been systematically conducted, is very poor: fertility in approximately 40 % of men is impaired. There is also evidence of reproductive and developmental harm linked to impairments in endocrine function in a number of wildlife species, particularly in environments that are contaminated by cocktails of chemicals that are in everyday use. Based on the human and wildlife evidence, many scientists are concerned about chemical pollutants being able to interfere with the normal functioning of hormones, so-called endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), that could play a causative role in these diseases and disorders. If this holds true, then these 'early warnings' signal a failure in environmental protection that should be addressed.

Green infrastructure and territorial cohesion [er] : the concept of green infrastructure and its integration into policies using monitoring systems. European Environment Agency.

Publication

Luxembourg : Publications Office, 2011.

Summary

The point of departure for this analysis is to support the European process towards territorial cohesion and green infrastructure development, in particular the development of a strategy for green infrastructure. This report explores the concept of green infrastructure, with illustrative examples of green infrastructure initiatives on the ground and further analyses of the integration of green infrastructure into policy sectors. It provides examples of monitoring systems/spatial information that can be utilised for spatial planning of green infrastructure at national and regional levels, and closes with exploitable opportunities and conclusions.
