Click to edit Master title style eea.europa.eu EEA multi annual work programme 2014-2018 To be the prime source of knowledge at European level informing the implementation of European and national environment and climate policies; To be a leading knowledge centre on the knowledge needed to support long term transition challenges and objectives; To be the lead organisation at European level facilitating knowledge-sharing and capacity - building in the field of environment and climate change. See: http://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/multiannual-work-programme-2014-2018http://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/multiannual-work-programme-2014-2018

3. A CRUCIAL MOMENT FOR EUROPE Assessing systemic challenges Goal - To be a centre of knowledge creation, exchange and use on long term systemic challenges and societal transitions Achieve by 2018 - Prompt delivery of SOER2015 and annual indicator reports, and measurable recognition in the 7EAP evaluation process. Resource-efficient economy and the environment Environment, human health and well-being Megatrends and transitions Sustainability assessments and state of the environment reporting

4. European policies recognise the challenge and embrace ambitious visions for a sustainable society “In 2050, we live well, within the planet's ecological limits. Our prosperity and healthy environment stem from an innovative, circular economy where nothing is wasted and where natural resources are managed sustainably, and biodiversity is protected, valued and restored in ways that enhance our society's resilience. Our low-carbon growth has long been decoupled from resource use, setting the pace for a global safe and sustainable society.” Source: 7th Environmental Action Programme Other EU policies offer similar perspectives: Europe 2020 Strategy, EU Energy Roadmap 2050, Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe, Roadmap for a competative low carbon economy in 2050, etc.

11. Click to edit Master title style eea.europa.eu Climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation (2014-2018) Objective To support and inform policy development and implementation in the area of climate change impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation by means of data, information/indicators, and assessments. Specifically: to provide up-to-date information and indicators on impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation to climate change (including disaster risk reduction), and to provide access to Copernicus climate change information services in the European Climate Adaptation Platform, Climate ‑ ADAPT; to support the implementation of the EU Climate Change Adaptation Strategy, including maintaining Climate- ADAPT and steering its development together with the European Commission; to support countries with the reporting of data to the European Commission and the EEA; to help policymakers plan and implement transnational, national, and sub-national (in particular cities) adaptation policies, and also to help monitor their implementation; to support the development and monitoring of adaptation policies in the EU by addressing, with appropriate partners where needed, topics such as costs and benefits of adaptation; green infrastructure and spatial planning, transport and energy systems; and indicators for monitoring and evaluating adaptation actions implemented by the private sector.
