Preface

The seventh pan-European assessment reports on the state of the environment for the period until the end of 2021. It is intended to inform discussions and decision-making by ministers during the Ninth Environment for Europe Ministerial Conference (Nicosia, 5–7 October 2022). It is the latest in a series of assessments dating back to 1995, with the last one having been presented to the Eighth Environment for Europe Ministerial Conference (Batumi, Georgia, 8–10 June 2016). On that occasion, the assessment took the form of the regional assessment of the Global Environment Outlook.
