 The report, based on an assessment of 28 indicators, examines historical trends, recent progress, and projected outcomes for the priority objectives of the 8th EAP around the following themes:

    • Climate change mitigation
    • Climate change adaptation
    • A regenerative circular economy
    • Zero pollution and a toxic-free environment
    • Biodiversity and ecosystems
    • Environmental and climate pressures related to production and consumption
    • Enabling conditions

This comprehensive assessment provides valuable insights into the progress made so far and highlights where urgent action is required to align with the EU's environmental goals.
