TRANSCRIPT
ENI SEIS II East project
Key outputs relevant
for JTFSEI and WGEMA
activities
October 2020
Implementation of SEIS principles and practices in the ENP East region
EU-funded project (2016-2020) imple-mented by EEA
Network of environmental and statistical experts in the Eastern Partnership countries
Regular dialogue though project and relevant events at national and regional level
Contribute to strengthening environmental governance
Ensuring sustainability of the results for further actions
Close partnership with UNECE, UNEP-Europe and other partners
Environmental indicators availability & accessibility online (status May 2020)

assessment on proposed and candidate sites to the
Emerald Network under the Bern Convention
Link
❑ 561 Emerald sites (proposed, candidate or formally
adopted), covering 12.3 % of the territories of the six
Eastern Partnership countries in 2019
An EEA Briefing for
regional overview
40 national experts trained

Monitoring, Data, Information, Assessment and
Knowledge (MDIAK) framework
Hands-on training provided to 110 National experts
❑ An EEA report – regional
assessment on water
resources is going to be
published in the coming
weeks (Nov 2020)
Corine Land Cover (CLC) results – comparison of CLC status layers
CLC polygon density depends on land use:
• CLC2018 maps are more detailed (having smaller average polygon size) in lowland dominated countries than in the mountainous Caucasus countries. Highest land cover fragmentation was obtained for Moldova.
• Least detailed CLC2018 map (highest average polygon size) was obtained in Azerbaijan because of the large urban and semi-desert areas around Baku.

CLC results – comparison of CLC Change layers hange layers
esults – comparison of CLC Change layersThe speed of CLC Change provides an indication of landscape stability:
• Moldova has shown the most stable land use / land cover (smallest percent change per year).
• Ukraine indicated the highest dynamics in land use / land cover due to strong urban sprawl and changes in agriculture and forestry.
