Europäische Wasserresilienzstrategie
Wasser ist für das Leben und die menschlichen Aktivitäten unverzichtbar und unterliegt zahlreichen und starken Belastungen. Auf seiner Mai-Tagung wird das Europäische Parlament voraussichtlich seine Empfehlungen für eine Strategie zur Bewältigung der drängendsten Herausforderungen annehmen, mit denen Europa im Bereich Wasser konfrontiert ist. Die Kommission hatte sich verpflichtet, diese Strategie im zweiten Quartal des Jahres vorzulegen.
This report examines the emerging field of exposomics, which studies the cumulative impact of environmental exposures on human health. It highlights the limitations of established environmental health research and advocates a more comprehensive approach. The report explores exposomics' application in various sectors, including urban planning, chemical safety, climate adaptation, child health, workplace safety, clinical practice, and citizen empowerment. It emphasises the need for improved exposure ...
The future of water availability and use in the EU: A foresight study and policy options to address water scarcity
This study aims to offer an in-depth analysis of water scarcity, availability, and usage in the face of climate change. By employing a comprehensive foresight methodology that includes an extensive literature review, qualitative and quantitative data analysis, and broad stakeholder consultation, the research provides a detailed overview of current water availability and consumption within the European Union (EU). It highlights the current and projected trends related to water resources, identifying ...
Portugal's climate action strategy
Portugal aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 (see trajectory in Figure 1). In 2023, Portugal accounted for 1.7 % of the EU's net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and achieved net emissions reductions of 43.9 % from 2005 to 2023, above the EU average reduction of 30.5 % over the same period. During that period, the country achieved a reduction of 66.2 % in emissions covered by the EU emissions trading system (ETS). Portugal's land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector has mostly performed ...
Croatia's climate action strategy
Croatia does not set its own national climate targets, but has emissions reduction obligations under EU law, and contributes to the EU-wide target of reaching climate neutrality by 2050 (see trajectory in Figure 1). Croatia accounts for 0.62 % of the EU's net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and has reduced its net emissions by 19.5 % from 2005 to 2023, compared with an average EU reduction of 30.5 % over the same period. The country's land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector is a significant ...
Klimaschutzstrategie Luxemburgs
Luxemburg ist rechtlich dazu verpflichtet, bis 2050 klimaneutral zu werden (siehe Zielpfad in Abbildung 1). Das Land muss außerdem in den unter die Lastenteilung fallenden Bereichen bis 2030 eine Verringerung der Treibhausgasemissionen um 55 % gegenüber 2005 erreichen. Luxemburg ist für 0,3 % der Netto-Treibhausgasemissionen der EU verantwortlich. Es hat seine Nettoemissionen zwischen 2005 und 2023 um 35,7 % verringert und liegt damit über dem EU-Durchschnitt von 30,5 % für denselben Zeitraum. Die ...
Slovenia's climate action strategy
Slovenia is legally bound to reach climate neutrality by 2050 (see trajectory on Figure 1) and reduce total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 55 % by 2033 compared with 2005. Slovenia accounts for 0.5 % of the EU's net GHG emissions, and increased its net emissions by 8.0 % from 2005 to 2023, compared with an EU average reduction of 30.5 % over the same period. This was due to a sharp increase in emissions from the land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector – traditionally a ...
Intergenerational fairness from a climate policy perspective: Current trends and priorities for the EU
Political decision-making frequently focuses on short-term impacts to satisfy current demands and ensure the electability of political representatives in office. Advocates of intergenerational fairness argue for a more balanced consideration of policy consequences, emphasising that long-term thinking is crucial to ensure that political choices made today do not negatively affect generations to come. There is a broad range of mechanisms that represent unborn future generations within contemporary ...
Paket „Ein Stoff, eine Bewertung“
Auf seiner Plenartagung im April 2025 dürfte das Europäische Parlament seinen Standpunkt zu einem Paket von drei Vorschlägen annehmen, die darauf abzielen, Sicherheitsbewertungen von Chemikalien schneller, einfacher und transparenter zu gestalten. Die EU-Agenturen sollen hierfür effizienter arbeiten können, und es soll eine gemeinsame Datenplattform für Chemikalien geschaffen werden.
