Development of
Terrestrial Environment Indicators
at the EEA
Jean-Louis Weber
ESPON SEMINAR, 21-22 November 2002
EEA : the European Environment Agency
“The EEA aims to support sustainable development and to help achieve significant and measurable improvement in Europe’s environment, through the provision of timely, targeted, relevant and reliable information to policy making agents and the public”
ESPON SEMINAR, 21-22 November 2002
Main objectives of the EEA 1/2
• To assist the European Community and member countries to:
identify, frame, prepare and implement sound and effective environmental policy measures and legislation
monitor, evaluate and assess actual and expected progress in the implementation and results of such measures.

ESPON SEMINAR, 21-22 November 2002
Main objectives of the EEA 2/2
• To establish and coordinate the European environment information and observation network (EIONET), based on an information infrastructure for the collection, analysis, assessment and management of data shared with European Commission services, EEA member countries and international organisations, agreements and conventions.
7
The EEA relies on EIONET, the network of national organisations, co-ordinated by NFPs

Setting up the EEA information system
on Terrestrial Environment
ESPON SEMINAR, 21-22 November 2002
Setting up the EEA information systemon Terrestrial Environment
1. Data collection: e.g. CLC20002. Indicators development: the EEA core set process
and the terrestrial environment indicators 3. Integrated assessment: e.g. DPSIR and Land &
Ecosystems Accounts
Conclusion : Importance of the geographical information in the environmental information system
ESPON SEMINAR, 21-22 November 2002
Setting up the EEA information system on Terrestrial Environment:
1. Data collection: CLC2000
ESPON SEMINAR, 21-22 November 2002
Main characteristics of Corine Land Cover (CLC)
• Mapping scale 1:100 000, resolution 100 m • Nomenclature: 44 classes• Minimum mapping 25 ha• Land cover changes >5 ha• Geometric accuracy:
– image data: < 25 m – land cover data: < 100 m
• Thematic accuracy: > 90 %• Updating frequency: every 10 year

Accession Countries participating on the same basis
Data will be disseminated for free for non-commercial use (e.g. ESPON…)
Commercial use: pricing up to each country

2. Indicators development:
the EEA « core set » process
and the terrestrial environment indicators
Setting up the EEA information system on Terrestrial Environment:
ESPON SEMINAR, 21-22 November 2002
Reporting obligations
Legal = Compliance data Assessment of the implementation of the
regulations by the Member states Don’t necessarily inform on state, trends,
effectiveness of policies Moral = the reporting on state & trends
Multiple clients Multiple data flows

Why indicators ? Answering the policy questions
• Environmental issues (clean air, climate change, good water, healthy ecosystems…)
• Integration of environmental concerns in sector policies (transport, agriculture, energy, tourism…)
• Sustainable development reporting
ESPON SEMINAR, 21-22 November 2002
4 basic policy questions
• Type A: “What is happening?”
Environmental state and quality
• Type B: “Does it matter?”
Performance indicators
• Type C: “Are we improving our processes?”
Eco-efficiency indicators
• Type D: "Are policies working?"
Measure of policy effectiveness

3. Integrated assessment:
e.g. DPSIR, Land & Ecosystems Accounts
Setting up the EEA information system on Terrestrial Environment:
ESPON SEMINAR, 21-22 November 2002
Reminder :
• An indicator is a dataset which tells something = is more than the dataset itself
• An indicator tells about interactions, causes and effects

The story: Land and Ecosystems Accounts
• Previous experiences : – UN-ECE working group on physical environment accounts,
– Eurostat,
– France, Great-Britain, Germany, Chile
• SEEA Chapter « Land and Ecosystems Accounts »
• Common project EEA-ETCTE-Eurostat, based on CLC
• Test areas :– The coastal zones of Europe
– 4 PHARE countries

Land & Ecosystem Accounting
• Basic Accounts, common for all, describing land use and land cover changes
• « Supplementary Accounts » targetted to priority poicy issues; specific but connected with the Basic Accounts
• A set of nomenclature for bridging with the National Accounts
• Spatial Analysis: Analytical and Reporting Units, Landscape Types
