This report describes the state of the art in biodiversity informatics in the field of entomology. The seven papers in this volume are the results of a one-day symposium that was held during the XXI International Congress of Entomology in Iguassu Falls, Brazil, on 24 August 2000.

For EU to meet its intermediate and long term targets on Climate Change it is essential that the environmental performance of the transport sector notably improves. In doing so all available reasonable measures must be used, EU and country wide, as well as regionally and locally. This report...

Farmland supports many habitats and species of European conservation concern. In 2003, Europe's environment ministers agreed to identify all farmland areas with high nature value and take conservation measures. This report shows that these areas cover roughly 15-25 % of the European countryside...

This review of biodiversity-related indicators was undertaken to support the development of a core set of environmental indicators by the European Environment Agency. Among its main conclusions is that a great variety of indicators has been developed to assess aspects of biodiversity at the...

Traffic-related air pollution is still one of the most pressing problems in urban areas. Evidence of the adverse health effects of fine particulate matter is continuously emerging and it is alarming that most of the traffic-related emissions are in the fine particulates range ( PM2.5). Human...

Transport contributes to several environmental problems such as climate change, air emissions and noise and is at the same time favoured by significant subsidies. An EEA report identifies European transport subsidies worth at least EUR 270 to 290 billion a year. Road transport receives EUR 125...

Summary report of the conference held on 27-29 September 2007, Ljubljana, Slovenia. This report was prepared by the organisers of the conference 'Time for action — towards sustainable consumption and production in Europe'. Three sets of three top-priority recommendations towards sustainable...

The European Environment Agency (EEA) held a two and a half day senior-level meeting in Copenhagen (13–15 May 2009) on 'A global setting for European environmental monitoring — measuring what we must manage' to explore concrete ideas for building a sustainable and focused observing capacity...

As the first indicator-based assessment of progress towards the European target of halting biodiversity loss by 2010, this report serves two purposes. First, it takes stock of the state of biodiversity and its loss in Europe based on the most recent data available. Second, it functions as a...

The present report considers the status and trends of pan-European biodiversity in a range of ecosystems, and the implications of these trends for biodiversity management policy and practice. It considers the key biodiversity policy instruments currently applied in Europe, the threats to...
