Reports about Europe's environmentReports published by EEA (Theme: all, Audience: all, Sorted on: publish date)Analysis of greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe 2003- October 25, 2004 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 of each Member State (MS) towards achieving their 'burden sharing' targets. In addition, it provides a more limited analysis of the progress of 11 acceding and candidate countries towards their Kyoto...http://reports.eea.europa.eu/technical_report_2004_4 EEA Briefing 32004 - Transport and environment in Europe- October 18, 2004 Growing transport volumes are leading to increased pressure on the environment especially in relation to climate change and biodiversity loss. Present efforts to counteract these trends are at best only slowing down the rate of increase. On the positive side, technological improvements are delivering reductions in air pollution from road transport despite the growth in traffic volumes. Even so, more is needed to solve the problem of urban air pollution. This briefing looks at developments...http://reports.eea.europa.eu/briefing_2004_3 Ten key transport and environment issues for policy-makers- October 18, 2004 Transport volumes are growing at a rate where many of the improvements brought about by new technology are being partly or fully negated. Emissions of harmful pollutants are decreasing steadily, but there are indications that the test cycles, on which the emissions are calculated, fail to represent real world driving conditions. Therefore air quality is not improving as would be expected from the emission figures. The TERM 2004 report looks at trends in transport emissions and other transport...http://reports.eea.europa.eu/TERM2004 |
