Connecting protected areas with green infrastructure would strengthen Europe’s ecosystems
2.7.2020|Okolje
The European Union’s (EU) network of protected sites, Natura 2000, could be further connected with green infrastructure to create a trans-European nature network. According to a European Environment Agency (EEA) briefing, published today, highways and other infrastructure currently disconnect about 15 % of the Natura 2000 sites from other nature areas, reducing their capacity for ecosystem services.
EU met air pollution limits for four key pollutants, including ammonia, in 2018
30.6.2020|Okolje
In 2018, the European Union met all air pollution limit ceilings set for total emissions of the four key pollutants monitored under EU rules. Emissions of ammonia levelled off after five years of increases, according to updated data released by the European Environment Agency (EEA) today.
Average CO2 emissions from new cars and new vans increased again in 2019
26.6.2020|Okolje
According to provisional data, published today by the European Environment Agency (EEA), average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from new passenger cars registered in the European Union (EU), Iceland, Norway and the United Kingdom (UK), increased in 2019, for the third consecutive year. The average CO2 emissions from new vans also increased slightly. Zero- and low-emission vehicles must be deployed much faster across Europe to achieve the stricter targets that apply from 2020.

Europe’s seas face uncertain future if urgent, coherent action not taken
25.6.2020|Okolje
Faced with the increased threats posed by overexploitation of marine resources, pollution and climate change, urgent action is needed to bring Europe’s seas back to good condition. According to the European Environment Agency’s report on Europe’s marine ecosystems, published today, we are running out of time to reverse decades of neglect and misuse.
Ageing population, emerging technologies and fiscal sustainability can influence EU’s path to sustainable future
24.6.2020|Okolje
Environmental policies must be better integrated across all government work if Europe is to stay on target toward a sustainable, carbon-neutral future. This will be crucial amid the profound changes which are expected to happen as a result of an ageing European population, a widespread technological change, and the competing allocations of public budgets. Tackling these complex challenges with sustainability in mind will require clear, bold, long-term and future-proof policies, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report published today.
Doubling recycling across Europe is feasible, for certain waste streams
23.6.2020|Okolje
There is significant potential to increase recycling across Europe for municipal, construction and electronic waste according to a European Environment Agency briefing released today. Compared to current recycled amounts, this potential can double recycling for municipal and electronic waste and increase it by 30 % for construction and demolition waste.
Longer-lasting electronics benefit environment, climate and circular economy
18.6.2020|Okolje
Extending the lifetime and delaying obsolescence of electronics can significantly reduce their environmental and climate impacts and contribute to meeting the European Union’s (EU) environment, climate and circular economy objectives. According to a European Environment Agency (EEA) briefing, published today, smartphones, televisions, washing machines and vacuum cleaners all are used on average for shorter periods than both their designed and desired lifetimes.
Reducing and recycling food and garden waste to boost Europe's circular economy
17.6.2020|Okolje
Bio-waste is one of the key waste streams in Europe and holds great potential for the circular economy. According to the European Environment Agency’s new assessment, reducing and using bio-waste could cut emissions, improve soils and provide energy. Recycling bio-waste is also key for meeting the European Union’s target to recycle 65 % of municipal waste by 2035.
Quality of Europe’s bathing waters remains high, latest annual assessment finds

Over the period, the EU’s contribution to global emissions is estimated to have decreased from 15 % to 8 %. In 2018, the EU’s emissions decreased by 2.1 %, confirming the EEA’s preliminary estimates published in October 2019.
Kakovost zraka v obdobju ukrepov ob epidemiji COVID-19
26.5.2020|Okolje
Na Agenciji Republike Slovenije za okolje (ARSO) smo za obdobje od 15. 3. 2020 do 15. 5. 2020 izvedli analizo kakovosti zraka. Gre za obdobje ukrepov za zmanjšanje širjenja COVID-19. V tem obdobju so bile v primerjavi z enakimi obdobji v preteklosti zaradi omejitve gibanja, zmanjšanja mobilnosti in druženja prebivalstva pomembno nižje predvsem emisije prometa. Na ARSO smo analizirali izmerjene ravni NO2, NOx in delcev PM10 v tem obdobju in jih primerjali z ravnmi, izmerjenimi v enakem …
