5 The EEA Envision

6 6 Main EEA reports 1999 : Environment in the EU at the turn of the century (State and Outlook/Scenarios) 2000 : Environmental signals, indicator based 2000/2001: Transport and environment report 2001 : next Environmental Signals 2002 : Europe's Environment : third Assessment (Kiev report) 2004 : next State and Outlook report

7 EIONET European Environmental Information and Observation Network National Focal Points National Reference Centres European Topic Centres (Air and climate change; Water; Waste; Nature and Biodiversity; Terrestrial Environment) Other institutes

8 8 The European Topic Centre on Air and Climate Change (ETC/ACC) Established March 2001 for three years A truly European consortium Lead organization: RIVM, the Netherlands (co- lead UBA Germany) Around 8 manyear/year

9 9 ETC Air and Climate Change consortium Institute of public health and environment (RIVM)Netherlands (Lead) Umweltbundesamt (UBA Berlin) Germany Umweltbundesamt (UBA Vienna)Austria Norwegian Air Research Centre (NILU)Norway EMEP Centres (CIAM/IIASA and MSCW/DNMI)Austria/Norway(Int) Technical University Athens (NTUA)Greece Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUT) TNO-MEPNetherlands AEA TechnologyUnited Kingdom Oeko-instituteGermany Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMU)Slovakia Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI)Czech Republic

10 10 Main objectives for ETC Air and Climate Change 1.To contribute to EEA main reports through assessments on climate change and air pollution (past trends, current state and outlooks); 2.To implement data collection and information systems to deliver indicators for EEA reports and policy support (EUROAIRNET, AIRBASE, CORINAIR) and to work with countries, Commission and international organisations to further streamline information gathering and reporting procedures; 3.To provide support to the EU policy and legislative frameworks CAFE (and AQ Framework Dir) and ECCP (and GHG monitoring Mechanism) and international conventions (CLRTAP and UNFCCC/IPCC); 4.To support countries in their reporting to the Commission and international organisations, and for inclusion in the ETC databases, by providing guidance/guidebooks, tools and by organising workshops.
