Soil retention, is calculated as soil loss without vegetation cover minus soil loss including the current land use/cover pattern. Specifically, this indicator takes into account climate data (observed measurements for rainfall and modelled for snow), topograph...

The indicator shows the spatial distribution of PM25 (sub-25µm particulate matter) emissions over Europe. The total emissions for each country are derived from the GAINS model. This is the first version of the dataset (1.0) and it has not been extensively vali...

This indicator measures the annual mean concentrations of PM10 (µg / m3). PM10 is one of the main pollutants emitted by household and (to a lower extent) commercial and institutional fuel combustion, followed by industrial activities and transport. Because of ...

The indicator shows the spatial distribution of PM10 (sub-10µm particulate matter) emissions over Europe. The total emissions for each country are derived from the GAINS model. This is the first version of the dataset (1.0) and it has not been extensively vali...

This indicator measures the diversity of tourism activity within a destination. The indicator is calculated as the Shannon diversity index of the distribution of tourism accommodation establishments across five geographical zones within a destination: cities, ...

This indicator measures the dependence on specific international markets, revealing exposure to risks related to specific international travel restrictions and other demand shocks. Lower values indicate lower dependence from the three top countries of origin a...

The C-stocks change indicator estimates the change in the stocks of carbon in organic compounds in mineral soils (Mt C year-1) and CO2 emissions or removals (Mt CO2 equivalent year-1) from land use and management changes for mineral soils.

The indicator shows the spatial distribution of CO (Carbon monixide) emissions over Europe. The total emissions for each country are derived from the GAINS model. This is the first version of the dataset (1.0) and it has not been extensively validated yet.

This indicator is an estimate of the average amount of CO2 emitted per air passenger per reporting country. It is calculated by dividing the amount of CO2 emitted by all passenger flights by the number of passengers within a year. The emission quantities and t...

The indicator shows the spatial distribution of NH3 (Ammonia) emissions over Europe. The total emissions for each country are derived from the GAINS model. This is the first version of the dataset (1.0) and it has not been extensively validated yet.

Green Infrastructure (GI) is defined as a network of high quality green spaces and other environmental features. GI includes natural and semi-natural areas, features and green spaces in rural and urban, terrestrial, freshwater, coastal and marine areas. This i...

Green Infrastructure (GI) is defined as a strategically planned and delivered network of high quality green spaces and other environmental features that are structurally and functionally “interconnected and therefore bring added benefits and are more resilient...

The built-up area per inhabitant measure the land consumption by comparing the size of the built-up areas with the population expressed in sq. m per inhabitant (m2 per person). The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2. Additional Publicati...

The indicator shows the spatial distribution of SO2 (Sulphur dioxide) emissions over Europe. The total emissions for each country are derived from the GAINS model. This is the first version of the dataset (1.0) and it has not been extensively validated yet.

This descriptor measures the share of protected/designated land belonging to the European networks Natura 2000 or Emerald Network in relation to the total area of the country or region. Natura 2000 is the ecological network for the conservation of wild animal ...

Total quantity of PM10 emitted by human activities (100 kg/year).

Build-up areas cover the land classified as urban, industrial and abandoned urban and industrial. Besides the built-up areas, artificial areas cover the infrastructure and the green urban green leisure land classes. This indicator gives artificial areas per in...

Historical population data from 1961 to 2011, based on a project supported by the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (see Gløersen and Lüer, 2013, population data collection for European local administrative units from 1960 onwards).  It contain...

This indicator sums up populations issued from LUISA model runs at a specified administrative level.
