•
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.

A CRUCIAL
MOMENT
FOR
EUROPE
Assessing systemic challenges
Resource-efficient
economy and the
environment
Megatrends and
transitions
Environment, human
health and well-being
Sustainability assessments
and state of the
environment reporting
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.
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.”

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.

(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 ClimateADAPT 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.
