Transport in Europe is responsible for damaging levels of air
pollutants and a quarter of EU greenhouse gas emissions. Many of
the resulting environmental problems can be addressed by
stepping up efforts to meet new EU targets, according to the
latest report from the European Environment Agency (EEA). Water
pollution and excessive water use are still harming ecosystems,
which are indispensable to Europe’s food, energy, and water
supplies. To maintain water ecosystems, farming, planning,
energy and transport sectors need to actively engage in managing
water within sustainable limits. Climate change is affecting all
regions in Europe, causing a wide range of impacts on society
and the environment. Further impacts are expected in the future,
potentially causing high damage costs, according to the latest
assessment published by the European Environment Agency today.
