This pilot study over Lombardy addresses the cost-effective spatial development of a well-connected Green Infrastructure (GI) relevant to the integration of forest, agri-environment and regional development policies. The structural continuity and functional connectivity of semi-natural...

In this work, the JRC applies its Smart Grid CBA methodology to a full-scale project rather than only to a small-size demonstrative one. To this end, the JRC and ACEA - one of Italy's biggest Distribution System Operators (DSOs), in charge of managing the distribution system of Rome - teamed up...

Smart Grids are a key component of the European strategy toward a low-carbon energy future. Growing environmental and energy security concerns represent a major driver for the renovation and improvement of existing energy infrastructure. In this context, Enlargement and Integration countries...

The Marine Directors of the European Union (EU), Acceding Countries, Candidate Countries and EFTA Countries have jointly developed a common strategy for supporting the implementation of the Directive 2008/56/EC, "the Marine Strategy Framework Directive" (MSFD). The main aim of this strategy is...

In many EU fisheries, and globally, fishers have an incentive to overuse marine resources. To counteract this problem, appropriate fisheries management systems had to be put in place, including control and enforcement strategies. Enforcement of EU fisheries management systems is costly relative...

Evaporative emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) arise from the vehicle's fuel system under changes in ambient and vehicle temperature and as a consequence of fuel permeation through plastic material. NMVOCs contribute to ground-level ozone and urban smog and pose a...

According to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), in 2012 Member States had to report on the initial assessment of their marine waters (art. 8), on the determination of good environmental status (art. 9) and on the establishment of environmental targets and associated indicators (art....
