This report presents information on past and projected climate change and related impacts in Europe, based on a range of indicators.

This European Environment Agency (EEA) report presents information on past and projected climate change and related impacts in Europe, based on a range of indicators. The report also assesses the vulnerability of society, human health and ecosystems in Europe and identifies those regions in Europe most at risk from climate change.

This EEA report assesses the damage costs to health and the environment resulting from pollutants emitted from industrial facilities.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) consists of the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plants and/or CO2-intensive industries such as refineries, cement, iron and steel, its subsequent transport to a storage site, and finally its injection into a suitable underground geological formation for the purposes of permanent storage.

This report presents an overview of the progress achieved so far by the EU, its Member States and other EEA member countries towards their respective targets under the Kyoto Protocol and the EU burden-sharing agreement. The assessment is based on greenhouse gas emission data in Europe for 2008, the first year of the Kyoto Protocol's first commitment period which runs from 2008 to 2012.

This report analyses options for scaling up existing estimates of ecosystem service values to larger geographical scales. It also presents a case study of wetlands at the European level and discusses the results and policy applications.

Transport has played a significant role in Europe's economic growth during the recent boom years; more construction, shopping and tourism have all ultimately relied on more transport. In recent months governments across the EU have reacted to the economic crisis with stimulus packages.

This report provides an up-to-date assessment of water resources across Europe with the key objectives of: describing spatial patterns and trends in water availability and abstraction, identifying those regions subject to the greatest water stress and the detrimental impacts that ensue; increasing awareness of the challenges of water scarcity and drought and the need for a fundamental shift to a

Ozone pollution is produced by photochemical processes involving nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in the lower atmosphere. Ozone levels become particularly high in regions close to high ozone precursor emissions during summer episodes with stagnant meteorological conditions, when high insolation and temperatures persist.

Signals is published by the European Environment Agency (EEA) at the start of each year and provides snapshot stories on issues of interest both to the environmental policy debate and the wider public for the upcoming year. The eight stories addressed are not exhaustive but have been selected on the basis of their relevance to the current environmental policy debate in Europe.
