Public concerns, evidence from research and increasing scientific knowledge are all driving widespread discussions on environment and health problems. The issue of environment and health is characterised by multi-causality with different strengths of association. This means that the links...

I&CLC2000 is a 3 years joint project of the European Environment Agency and the Joint Research Centre, co-funded by the European Commission and 29 participating countries, aimed to update the CORINE Land cover database (CLC2000) and to derive the spatial reference for Europe (IMAGE2000)....

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the European Union have increased for the second consecutive year, moving the EU further away from meeting its commitment to achieve a substantial emissions cut by the 2008-2012 period.

The aim of this report is to examine whether estimates of the plant pigment chlorophyll-a from satellite data can support the evaluation of eutrophication in European marine and coastal waters. Satellite images are a good indicator of the occurrence of algal blooms in relation to eutrophication...

This report has been prepared for those interested in updating the Corine land cover database. The document describes the methodological steps to be followed in developing an update in a consistent and harmonised way to ensure comparability among results across Europe.

The present report describes the work developed by the Murbandy/Moland project (Monitoring Urban Dynamics/Monitoring Land Use Changes). The aim of the report is to disseminate the first results of this research project dedicated to measure and assess urban dynamics through the creation of land...

This report investigates the intricate interplay between drivers of changes in soil health and pressures and impacts on soil in the 32 European Environment Agency (EEA) member countries, along with six cooperating countries from the West Balkans, Ukraine and UK, shedding light on the...

Human health and well‑being are intimately linked to environmental quality. This has been recognised for decades amongst policymakers in Europe, and most recently appears as a cornerstone in the European Commission's proposal for the 7th Environment Action Programme. This report, produced...

The 'Soil Country Analyses' series is the outcome of a collaboration between the European Environment Agency (EEA), the EIONET countries and the European Soil Data Centre from the IES-JRC. In order to overcome the general scarceness of information on soil at European scale and to include...
