As part of a project to provide the information necessary to design and monitor adequate environmental policies these statistics focus on the pressures from human activity that bring about changes in the state of the environment. They cover nine policy fields: resource depletion; waste; dispersion of toxic substances; water pollution; marine environment and coastal zones; climate change; air pollution; ozone layer depletion; urban environmental problems. This, the second edition of these statistics, sees greater emphasis on a sectoral approach, i.e. the contribution of the different policy sectors of the EU to environmental pressures. Because information is gathered from a number of sources, all of the indicators are evaluated for relevancy, accuracy, time representation and spatial representation.

This is the third state and outlook report on the European environment produced by the European Environment Agency (EEA) since 1994. The last report, published in 1999 concluded that, despite 25 years of Community environmental policy, environmental quality in the European Union (EU) was mixed and that the unsustainable development of some key economic sectors was the major barrier to further improvements. That remains the EEA's key conclusion, despite significant progress on some issues demonstrating that environmental policy works. The next report is due in 2010, and the EEA intends to have played its part in reversing unsustainable trends in sectors such as energy, agriculture and transport. This report is in four parts: (A) an integrated assessment of the atmospheric, aquatic and terrestrial environment; (B) a core set of indicators, including pollution, biodiversity, climate change, agriculture, energy, fisheries and transport; (C) country analysis; and (D) a bibliography of EEA publications since 2000.
