A small delegation led by our Executive Director Leena Yla-Mononen visited Italy this week. We had the pleasure of being hosted by Stefano Laporta and Maria Siclari of ISPRA of our Eionet network, with a focus on Italian Environmental information systems and closer exchanges and the Italian Eionet partners. The EEA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ISPRA on closer cooperation on Copernicus Land Monitoring modules.

New EEA report shows that Europe's #transport sector has a difficult journey ahead to become sustainable, mainly because of increasing transport demand and sluggish growth in sustainable transport modes. Some key figures from the report: 🚗 Private #cars accounted for 73% of passenger-kilometres travelled in the EU in 2022. 🚛 Volume of #freight transport on Europe’s roads has increased by almost two thirds since 1995. ✈ Demand for passenger #flights in the EU grew by more than 140% from 1995 to 2019. ☁ #CO2emissions from transport in the EU were about 26% higher in 2022 than in 1990.

What is the state of Ireland’s environment in 2024? The EPA's flagship report, the State of the Environment, happens every four years, and delivers the single most definitive evaluation of Ireland’s environment. While we have made immense progress as a nation, we are nowhere near where we need to be. We are taking positive actions across multiple fronts, but they are not keeping pace with the growing pressures on our environment. The report outlines five key priorities to transform our environment: 📃Delivering a national policy position on the environment ✅Driving policy implementation 🏭Transforming our energy, transport, food and industrial systems 💶Scaling up investment in water, energy, transport and waste management infrastructure 🏥Protecting the environment to protect our health Read the report’s findings and inform yourself on the transformation needed: bit.ly/SOER2024 Over the coming weeks we’ll be spotlighting some of the chapters to break down the key issues and opportunities for the Irish Environment in 2024. #SOER2024 #IrelandEnvironment #EnvironmentalPolicy #SustainableIreland #GreenTransformation #EPAReport #ClimateActionIreland #IrishSustainability #GreenFuture

What drives our material footprint? New EEA briefing looks at six key #consumption categories in Europe - housing, food, services, household goods and services, clothing and footwear, and personal mobility - and how those are linked to EU's material footprint and consumption expenditure. Based on Eurostat data, #housing and #food are hotspots for resource consumption, accounting for 72% of the EU’s material footprint and requiring the highest amount of material per euro spent.

All people should reside within 300m of green space, recommends World Health Organization. However, not everyone across Europe enjoys equal access to urban green spaces. Today is #WorldHabitatDay, a day dedicated to engaging youth in creating a better urban future. Green and blue spaces 🌱 e.g. parks, gardens, and coastlines 🌊 are key to this vision as they offer much more than beauty in our urban environments; they also improve air quality, enhance biodiversity, and foster physical and mental well-being for all. On this day, we tip our hats to youth and their efforts in creating sustainable, inclusive, and green urban spaces for everyone 🌳✨ For more on this topic, check out our publication on urban green spaces and their benefits to health (link in the comments) #greenspaces #urbandevelopment #mentalhealth
