EU: Environment report shows benefits of EU action

The European Environment — State and Outlook 2015 Report (SOER 2015), prepared by the European Environment Agency (EEA), shows that a coordinated EU environment policy has delivered substantial benefits for citizens over the past five years. But the report warns that Europe's long-term goal of "living well, within the limits of our planet" cannot be achieved with the current level of ambition of environment and related policies.
The analysis calls for more integrated policy making – a call the Commission is responding to with a series of environmental initiatives for 2015, including a new, broader package on the Circular Economy (Press Release European Commission, 3 March 2015).
