The purpose of the briefing is to show progress against agreed reporting criteria (timeliness and data quality), allowing countries to identify and prioritise the resources they need for regular reporting procedures.

The purpose of the briefing is to show progress against agreed reporting criteria (timeliness and data quality), allowing countries to identify and prioritise the resources they need for regular reporting procedures. The provision of high-quality data by Eionet is fundamental for the EEA to achieve its mission to provide timely, targeted, relevant and reliable information to policy-making agents and the public.</span> </p> <p class="tileFooter"> <a href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/eionet-core-data-flows-2023" class="moreLink">Read more</a> </p> </div> <div class="tileItem visualIEFloatFix"> <a class="tileImage " href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/future-proofing-the-transition-to-sustainability" title="‘Future-proofing’ the transition to sustainability: focus on policy assumptions and foresight"> <img class="lazy" src="https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/future-proofing-the-transition-to-sustainability/image_mini" title="‘Future-proofing’ the transition to sustainability: focus on policy assumptions and foresight" alt="‘Future-proofing’ the transition to sustainability: focus on policy assumptions and foresight" /> </a> <div class="tileContent"> <h2 class="tileHeadline"> <a href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/future-proofing-the-transition-to-sustainability" class=" state-published" title="‘Future-proofing’ the transition to sustainability: focus on policy assumptions and foresight">‘Future-proofing’ the transition to sustainability: focus on policy assumptions and foresight</a> </h2> <span>Publication</span> <span class="date"> 04 Jul 2024 </span> </div> <p class="tileBody"> <span class="description">To become sustainable, Europe must change some of the ways people live, work, produce and consume.

This briefing explores how to future-proof sustainability policies and avoid blind spots through a foresight-based framework, which includes several participatory exercises involving a multidisciplinary group of experts. Assessing future risks and their potential impacts can identify mitigation measures and safeguard strategies to encourage the transition to sustainability and feed future policy. </span> </p> <p class="tileFooter"> <a href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/future-proofing-the-transition-to-sustainability" class="moreLink">Read more</a> </p> </div> <div class="tileItem visualIEFloatFix"> <a class="tileImage " href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/daviz/exposure-of-forest-area-to-11" title="Exposure of forest areas to ozone in EEA member countries"> <img class="lazy" src="https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/daviz/exposure-of-forest-area-to-11/image_mini" title="Exposure of forest areas to ozone in EEA member countries" alt="Exposure of forest areas to ozone in EEA member countries" /> </a> <div class="tileContent"> <h2 class="tileHeadline"> <a href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/daviz/exposure-of-forest-area-to-11" class=" state-published" title="Exposure of forest areas to ozone in EEA member countries">Exposure of forest areas to ozone in EEA member countries</a> </h2> <span>Data Visualization</span> <span class="date"> 24 Jun 2024 </span> </div> <p class="tileBody"> <span class="description"> </span> </p> <p class="tileFooter"> <a href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/daviz/exposure-of-forest-area-to-11" class="moreLink">Read more</a> </p> </div> <div class="tileItem visualIEFloatFix"> <a class="tileImage " href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/industrial-reporting-under-the-industrial-7" title="Industrial Reporting under the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU and European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Regulation (EC) No 166/2006"> <img class="lazy" src="https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/industrial-reporting-under-the-industrial-7/image_mini" title="Industrial Reporting under the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU and European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Regulation (EC) No 166/2006" alt="Industrial Reporting under the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU and European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Regulation (EC) No 166/2006" /> </a> <div class="tileContent"> <h2 class="tileHeadline"> <a href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/industrial-reporting-under-the-industrial-7" class=" state-published" title="Industrial Reporting under the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU and European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Regulation (EC) No 166/2006">Industrial Reporting under the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU and European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Regulation (EC) No 166/2006</a> </h2> <span>Data</span> <span class="date"> 07 Mar 2023 </span> </div> <p class="tileBody"> <span class="description">This dataset contains the location and administrative data for the largest industrial complexes in Europe, releases and transfers of regulated substances to all media, waste transfers as well as more detailed data on energy input and emissions for large combustion plants.
