Reports about Europe's environmentReports published by EEA (Theme: all, Audience: all, Sorted on: publish date)High nature value farmland - Characteristics, trends and policy challenges- April 28, 2004 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 and suffer from land abandonment and intensification. Current policy measures appear insufficient to prevent further biodiversity decline.http://reports.eea.europa.eu/report_2004_1 Agriculture and the environment in the EU accession countries - Implications of applying the EU common agricultural policy- April 27, 2004 Agriculture is a key influence on the environment in the acceding countries. This report reviews the pressures from agriculture on water, soil and air. It also shows the importance of agricultural management for biodiversity and landscapes. Introduction of the CAP will bring positive and negative changes. Which tendency will predominate depends largely on policy implementation by the new EU Member States.http://reports.eea.europa.eu/environmental_issue_report_2004_37 Exploring the ancillary benefits of the Kyoto Protocol for air pollution in Europe- April 12, 2004 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 of three climate policy scenarios, which differ in their use of the Kyoto mechanisms, with a baseline scenario for 2010.http://reports.eea.europa.eu/technical_report_2004_93 |
