This report is an indicator-based assessment of European Community and acceding and candidate countries’ greenhouse gas emission trends, emission projections and existing and proposed policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2010. The report presents an assessment of the...

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.

This report is an indicator-based assessment of European Community and acceding and candidate countries’ greenhouse gas emission trends, emission projections and existing and proposed policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2010. The report presents an assessment of the...

EU and candidate countries' progress between 1990 and 2000 towards reaching their targets under the Kyoto Protocol is assessed in this report. It shows which countries are on track, the greenhouse gas emission trends in each sector and the reasons for increases or decreases. The report supports...

The purpose of this technical report is to analyse and present the progress of the European Union (EU) as a whole towards fulfilling its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol, and the contribution...

This report provides a detailed analysis and background information for the EEA report 'Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe 2004: Progress by the EU and its Member States towards achieving their Kyoto Protocol targets'. The EEA report is published separately and is an...

Projections show that the pre-2004 EU Member States (EU-15) could cut their total emissions to 7.7% below 1990 levels by 2010 with existing domestic policies and measures already being implemented and additional policies and measures currently planned. Plans by six EU-15 Member States to use...

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 report explores the potential ancillary benefits for air pollution - in terms of reductions in pollutant emissions and changes in control costs and environmental impacts - resulting from different ways of implementing the Kyoto climate change protocol in Europe. It is based on a comparison...

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...
