Foreword

The seventh pan-European environmental assessment gives an insight into the progress achieved in environmental protection, a cornerstone of life and human health, but also highlights the numerous challenges that need to be tackled by the whole of society. The successes are far fewer than the setbacks and failures to make progress. The assessment therefore provides much food for thought for ministers attending the Ninth Environment for Europe Ministerial Conference (Nicosia, 5–7 October 2022).

Sustainable Development Goals:

Good Health and Well-Being

Clean Water and Sanitation

Affordable and Clean Energy
