NUTS administrative units

External Data Spec Published 01 Feb 2022
1 min read
The GISCO statistical unit dataset represents the NUTS (Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics) and Statistical regions by means of multipart polygon, polyline and point topology. The NUTS geographical information is completed by attribute tables and a set of cartographic help lines to better visualize multipart polygonal regions. The NUTS are a hierarchical system divided into 3 levels. NUTS1: major socio-economic regions, NUTS2: basic regions for the application of regional policies, NUTS3: small regions for specific diagnoses. Additionally a NUTS 0 level, usually co-incident with national boundaries are also available. The NUTS legislation is periodically amended; therefore multiple years are available for download.

Figure Number of high fire danger days in summer in the baseline period (1981-2010) and in 2041-2070 under RCP8.5 scenario This map shows the number of high fire danger days in summer (June, July, August) in the baseline period (1981-2010) and in 2041-2070 under Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario. This Index is based on the Fire Weather Index (FWI). The index gives the number of days in a given period presenting favourable meteorological conditions to triggering a wildfire. The higher the Index, the higher the risk of wildfire.
Figure Share of woody landscape features on agricultural areas in NUTS3 regions The map shows the share of woody landscape features in agricultural areas on NUTS3 regions.
Figure Premature deaths attributable to exposure to PM₂.₅ at NUTS3 level for European countries in 2021, adjusted for population The map shows the number of premature deaths (PDs) attributable to PM₂.₅ in 2021 at NUTS3 level for European countries. The PDs, which in absolute terms are higher for those NUTS3 level regions with the highest populations, have been normalised by 100,000 inhabitants, to make the numbers comparable among regions. For countries where NUTS3 regions are not available, the national value is shown.

Premature deaths attributed to PM2.5 at NUTS3 level for European countries in 2019, normalized by population The map shows the number of premature deaths (PDs) attributed to PM2.5 in 2019 at NUTS3 level for European countries. The PDs, which in absolute terms are higher for those NUTS3 level regions with the highest populations, have been normalised by 100,000 inhabitants, to make the numbers comparable among regions.
