A selection of environmental pressure indicators for the EU and Acceding Countries

In 1990 and 2001 Eurostat published a set of Environmental Pressure Indicators for the EU, addressing the most important anthropogenic pressures on the environment in 8-10 major policy fields. In 2003, Eurostat updated and extended to cover the acceding countries, the indicators in 4 of these policy fields, namely, Air Pollution, Climate Change, Resource Depletion and Waste, for which data are readily available at Eurostat and the European Environment Agency.
