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...

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

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 ...

This indicator measures the average economic value generated per night spent at the tourist destination, revealing tourism contribution to the economy of the destination country. The average tourism expenditure was adjusted taking into account the living costs...

Modelled average travel distances in 2010 and 2050 according to LUISA projections and a spatial interaction model (unit:meters). The results are based on a number of simulation-specific assumptions but are instrumental in informing the relative potential for s...

Projected population distribution maps from 2010 to 2050.

The indicator measures the total number of people exposed to an annual mean concentrations of NO2 superior to 40 micro gram/m3 of air (unit:persons). NO2 is one of the main pollutants emitted by road vehicles, shipping, power generation industry and households...

This indicator measures the quality of bathing waters. It is calculated as the share of sampled bathing water sites that are classified as "excellent" within a tourist destination. The measurement criterion is based on the presence of significant polluting sub...

This descriptor shows the number of “blue flag” certifications awarded to beaches, marinas and sustainable boating tourism operators. Blue flags are awarded annually for their high quality standards in terms of the water quality, environmental management and i...

The indicator Water consumption is the result of the water use model which allocates sectorial statistical data on freshwater consumption. The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2. Additional publications: 1. Sarah Mubareka, Joachim Maes...

The indicator reflects productivity in terms of water use, so gives a measure of a country's water use efficiency.

The indicator presented here measures the share of Green Infrastructure at different regional levels (in %). Green Infrastructure (GI) is defined as a strategically planned and delivered network of high quality green spaces and other environmental features (EC...

This descriptor measures the average duration of stays at tourist accommodation establishments. It is calculated by dividing the total number of nights spent by the total number of tourist arrivals. Longer lengths of stay can potentially generate higher touris...

This descriptor classifies each tourism destination according to one of the following six tourism typologies: urban (or city tourism), coastal, nature, rural, snowy mountain, and mixed. The classification is first determined at NUTS3 level based on the proport...

Tourism intensity is calculated by dividing the number of nights spent at tourist accommodations by the resident population. It is an indicator of economic dependence on tourism, potentially revealing overtourism and vulnerability to demand shocks when values ...

This indicator measures the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by the tourism ecosystem per Million Euro of Gross Value Added (GVA) in the tourism sector. This indicator includes the following greenhouse gases: CO2, and N2O, CH4, HFC, PFC, SF6, ...

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 indicator is defined as the amount of energy content of the biomass harvested from dedicated energy crops over the total surface area. The unit of measurement is Giga Joules per hectare. The unit of measurement is Giga Joules per hectare.

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.
