Late Lessons from Early Warnings : The Precautionary Pinciple 1896-2000 (Environmental Issue Report; No. 22)

Gee, David

European Environment Agency

<p>Although the energy sector is of key socio-economic importance, energy production and consumption also has considerable environment effects, including contributing to climate change, damaging natural ecosystems, and causing harm to human health. This report assesses how effectively environmental concerns are being integrated with EU energy policies, based on a range of indicators which examine performance in the EU as a whole and in individual member states. The indicators examine trends over the period 1990-99 and compare these with baseline projections to 2010. The report finds that EU energy consumption is rising, mainly because of transport growth, with energy efficiency improving slowly. Renewable energies need to expand by at least double the current rate if targets for boosting their market shares by 2010 are to be reached.</p>

Europe's Water: An Indicator-Based Assessment

S. Nixon

<p>Energy resources are essential to the generation of industrial, commercial and socio-economic growth, but they also place considerable pressures on the environment, such as emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. This report analyses the environmental pressures created by energy production and consumption, and underlying societal drivers in order to measure the progress towards integrating environmental objectives within the energy sector in Europe, using a set of 24 EEA energy and environment indicators and related EEA Core Set Indicators. It updates the analysis made in an earlier EEA report 'Energy and environment in the European Union', (2002, ISBN 9291674680).</p>
