This study has collated available environmental expenditure data on the market for goods and services produced by eco-industries in both the EU-15 and the Candidate Countries, as the basis for describing the economic significance of the sector, including employment levels. Whilst there are gaps...

This report serves as input to the annual progress evaluation report of the European Commission to the Council and the European Parliament, as required under the Monitoring Mechanism of Community CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. The report analyses actual progress by comparing 1990-1998...

The report provides an analysis of trends of emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases (1980 to 1996) in Europe by total and by main polluting sectors (transport, industry, energy, agriculture). Emissions are compared to agreed international emission reduction targets and ceilings through...

The projected progress of the EU Member States and candidate countries towards reaching their Kyoto Protocol targets by 2010 is analysed in this report. The analysis is based on national programmes. For each country the report shows projected emissions and the sectors that are contributing most,...

Data on emissions of air pollutants in the European Community from 1990-2000 are presented in this report. The emissions data cover acidifying pollutants, ozone precursor substances and other air pollutants: SOx (sulphur oxides), NOX (nitrogen oxides), NH3 (ammonia), NMVOCs (non-methane volatile...

This report presents a summary of the activities and products of the Topic Centre on Air Emissions in 1999. The Topic Centre (ETC/AE) was appointed in December 1994 by EEA to act as a centre of expertise on air emissions for use by the Agency in support of its mission.

This report serves as input to the annual progress evaluation report of the European Commission, under the Monitoring Mechanism of Community CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. EC greenhouse gas emissions in 1999 were 2 % below 1998 levels, and 4 % below 1990 levels. This cut takes the EC...

The projected progress of the EU Member States and candidate countries towards reaching their Kyoto Protocol targets by 2010 is analysed in this report. The analysis is based on national programmes. For each country the report shows projected emissions and the sectors that are contributing most,...

An analysis of trends in emissions of the main air pollutants in EU Member States and Candidate Counties between 1990 and 1999 is presented in this report. Emissions data are shown and analysed by country and economic sector. They are also compared with agreed international emission ceilings and...

The report shows that in Europe mountain regions, coastal zones, wetlands and the Mediterranean region are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Although there could be some positive effects, many impacts are likely to be adverse. Existing adaptive measures are concentrated in flood...
