Do something for our planet, print this page only if needed. Even a small action can make an enormous difference when millions of people do it!
Nature provides us with many valuable services. Some of these services are relatively easy to quantify, such as crops, fisheries and timber; other services, less so. How does one accurately account for the value of pollination for agriculture or flood protection by wetlands?
The EEA's latest 'State of nature in the EU' report shows alarming results from the 2013-2018 reporting period. Many species and habitats in Europe face an uncertain future unless urgent action is taken to reverse the situation.
Europe's biodiversity continues to be shaped by human activity. Pressures to habitats and species remain high and more than 67 000 individual pressures have been reported at the EU level.
In 2020, the EU continued to actively phase out ozone-depleting substances (ODS), in line with its commitment under the Montreal Protocol. Data for 2020 show that consumption of ODS in the EU remained negative (-2,023 metric tonnes), meaning that more substances were destroyed or exported than were produced or imported. The EU´s consumption of these substances has been negative since 2012. For more information and data reported by companies under the Ozone Regulation, see the online ODS data viewer .
The chart shows how primary energy consumption in the EU-27 has not changed substantially in the period indicated in the chart, despite a fast-paced reduction in energy intensity of the economy, as a result of the Jevons paradox.
The figure shows the number of existing, under construction and planned hydropower plants by size categories (installed megaWatts) in Europe.
The figure shows a compilation of 630,000 unique barrier records from existing datasets.
The figure shows the difference of the 2019 emission levels compared to the emission reduction commitments of 2020-2029, 2030 and onwards. Emissions in 2019 are compared to the reduction commitments and the distance to the reduction commitment is the distance to target expressed as a percentage difference.
By 31st of August each year the Member States must submit a summary of fuel quality monitoring data collected during the period January to December of the previous calendar year, in accordance with Article 8(1) of Directive 98/70/EC as amended by Directive 2009/30/EC. The delivery process is managed by EEA.
The map describes the number LNG facilities available in the EEA area. The graph describes the number of ports equipped with LNG facilities in the EU and the total number of LNG facilities available.
The map describes the number OPS facilities available in the EEA area. The graph describes the number of ports equipped with OPS facilities in the EU and the total number of OPS facilities available.
This map reports the NOx emissions from ships in sea areas of the EU (calculated as NO2) during the year 2019
The maps display the probability of whale occurrence (left) and the ship/whales collision risk index (right) in Europe’s seas.
The map illustrates the secondary effects of the disruption of European port operations as a result of the projected increase of ESL until 2100. It is based on information on connections of container ports. The size of the pies represent the total number of connections or port calls and the coloured pieces of the pies represent the part of the total connections to ports exposed to different levels of ESL increases.
