To provide an overview of the state of environment at European

level for a selection of key environmental themes – and to publish

accessible and credible environmental information.

This should build on and complement the on-going assessment

work across the EEA.

SOER 2015 Part B – Thematic SOE informationOverall Objective

Page 4: SOER 2015 Part B – European-level thematic State of Environment (SOE) information Eionet Meeting on Biodiversity, EEA 29 October 2013 Frank Wugt Larsen,

• To provide a comprehensive thematic overview of the

European environment’s status, trends (and prospects) to

support European decision-making and implementation of

European environmental policies.

• To cluster and summarise EEA knowledge on key

environmental challenges and themes in a concise and

accessible format, serving as an entry point to the more

detailed data, indicators and assessments in the EEA

information and knowledge base.

• To provide a baseline for policy debates on specific

environmental issues, based on the 2020 objectives set out in

the general Union Environment Action Programme to 2020

(‘7EAP’).

SOER 2015 Part B – Thematic SOE informationThree Specific Objectives

Page 5: SOER 2015 Part B – European-level thematic State of Environment (SOE) information Eionet Meeting on Biodiversity, EEA 29 October 2013 Frank Wugt Larsen,

The primary audience for SOER 2015 Part B are specialists, and

informed or interested non-specialists, that want to get a short

overview of policy context, successes, and challenges of specific

environmental issues.

The primary target audience of Part B are therefore EU

decision-makers and EU policy-influencers with an interest in

thematic environmental issues.

SOER 2015 Online will provide a vehicle for attracting secondary

audiences with SOER 2015 Part B to EEA’s thematic web-pages,

indicators, reports and assessments.

SOER 2015 Part B – Thematic SOE informationTarget audiences

Page 6: SOER 2015 Part B – European-level thematic State of Environment (SOE) information Eionet Meeting on Biodiversity, EEA 29 October 2013 Frank Wugt Larsen,

The four criteria are:

a) Are they relevant to European policy, in particular the priorities

set out in the 7th EAP and the Europe 2020 strategy?

b) Do they collectively provide a reasonably comprehensive

overview of the European environment’s status, trends and

prospects?

c) Do we have indicators to support an analysis of the issue?

d) Do they help succinctly explain key concepts and themes that

are used in SOER 2015?
