Summary:

Report presented on 15 May 2019 by the European Commission evaluating the performance of the 7th EAP, which entered into force in 2014 and runs until the end of 2020.

Further information:

The EU’s Environment Action Programmes (EAPs) provide strategic guidance and to ensure predictable and coordinated action for Europe’s environment and climate policy. The 7th EAP sets out a vision for 2050 together with a clear narrative on an integrated environment policy that contributes to sustainable economic growth, health and human well-being. It is fully in line with the spirit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

This evaluation highlights the programme’s main achievements and shortcomings. Based on this analysis, it identifies the main lessons learned. Overall, not all actions have been delivered at this stage of implementation. While there has been progress across the board — in some areas more than was envisaged in the 7th EAP — there is a clear need for further commitment.

The report is accompanied by a Commission staff working document providing full details of the evaluation.
