Welcome to the EEA, Moldova 🇲🇩! Fiți bineveniți! The Republic of Moldova is now the EEA's 7th cooperating country and the 39th member of the Eionet network — a concrete step in its European integration journey: eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/ne…

How much is too much #waste? Europe has a waste problem - and what is being done about it? This is the topic of our latest 'Europe's climate and environment' 🎙️ #podcast episode - available now wherever you get your podcasts. 🔗EEA YouTube: youtu.be/RDck4O68aAI?si…

🌾 Climate-resilient farming isn't just good for the planet — it's good for farmers' wallets too. A new EEA briefing (51 case studies across Europe) finds smarter soil, water & crop practices can cut costs, reduce climate risk & stabilise incomes. 👉 eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/ne…

Europe is acting. The Zero Pollution Action Plan & Chemical Strategy for Sustainability are setting stronger rules to hit 2030 targets. Because the right to a toxic-free life isn't a privilege — it's a standard every product must meet.

Toys. Cosmetics. Food packaging. Electronics. Everyday products millions of Europeans use without a second thought — yet many still expose us to harmful chemicals. 1 in 4 imports fail EU safety standards. The risk is real.

Mental health disorders are now the 6th largest burden of disease in the EU. Pollution is increasingly being examined as a contributing factor — and noise is no exception. Read the full report here: eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/pu…

The data is striking: - Road traffic noise → +3% depression risk, +2% anxiety risk - Railway noise → +2.2% suicide rate per 10dB increase - Aircraft noise → +12% depression risk per 10dB - Children exposed to noise show higher rates of behavioural problems

The noise around you is affecting your mind. 🧠 A growing body of evidence links environmental noise pollution to serious mental health issues — and the EEA's latest briefing takes a closer look.

A new online repair platform will make it easier than ever to find trusted repairers near you, and a standardised information form means no more guesswork on cost, time, or conditions. It's good for your wallet, and for the planet.

Every year, millions of tonnes of perfectly fixable products end up as waste, because repair is too expensive or too complicated.

We are happy to share our first-ever One Health Newsletter. Here you can get an idea of what is happening in Europe in terms of health, and learn more about our work to strengthen the EU’s ability to respond to health crises.

From climate change to antimicrobial resistance, Europe is facing increasingly complex and frequent threats to health and wellbeing.

The goal is straightforward: make energy imports irrelevant. A more shock-proof EU energy system by 2030 is within reach — but only if we act now. eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/pu…

A dual-speed approach gets us out: → SHORT TERM: Scale domestic renewables fast. Upgrade & digitalise grids. Double EU flexibility through storage & demand response. → STRUCTURAL: Deep building renovations. Circular material use. Cut total energy load and minimise dependencies.

As gas & oil prices shoot up again due to geopolitical instability, Europe's answer is clear: renewables & electrification are our declaration of independence.⚡ 🔴 EU oil import dependency: 97%. Gas: 85%. 🟢 Meeting our EU 2030 targets could cut variable costs by up to 57%.
