This page contains content that increases people’s knowledge and awareness of the environment and related challenges, develops the skills and expertise needed to address the challenges, and questions the attitudes and motivations needed to make informed decisions and take responsible action.
Forests, mountains, rivers, oceans—these landscapes and seascapes provide us with food, medicine, water, oxygen, inspiration, and shelter. They are also home to our planet’s unique abundance of wildlife. Habitat destruction comes in many forms: conversion for agriculture, urban expansion, extractive industries, and pollution from human activities, all individually and collectively pose a tremendous threat to Earth’s biodiversity and the benefits it provides to humans.
Bringing together Early Childhood Education Sustainability (ECEfS) networks as a strong and united voice to further develop environmental capacity reinforces the importance of early childhood education in transformative change that is critical for global sustainability. This content provides insights into the importance of environmental education in early childhood. It highlights innovations across Europe in early childhood sustainability strategies, particularly in the context of climate change.
The experience of natural treasures and wildlife has helped define and shape our national character and identity for generations. Protecting natural resources has long been a cause that unites people of all walks of life and political stripes. For hunters, fishermen, hikers, bird watchers, wildlife observers, boaters, climbers, campers, cyclists, gardeners, farmers, forest managers, and other outdoor enthusiasts, this conservation ethic represents a sacred duty and obligation to preserve and build upon our conservation legacy for wildlife, ourselves, our neighbors, and, most importantly, for future generations.
The European Environment Agency (EEA) is an agency of the European Union. Our task is to provide sound, reliable and independent information on the environment and climate. The regulation establishing the EEA was adopted by the EU in 1990, and the Agency started operations in Copenhagen in 1994.

Empowering people across society to create a net-zero world
We’re a major philanthropic initiative working with 700+ partners to catalyse climate action and build a better future. Our vision is a greener, more peaceful and democratic Europe made possible by climate action.
Climate change is here now. We can limit further warming and the dangers it poses—if we act now. Every fraction of a degree matters.
What we do between now and 2030 will determine whether we can slow warming enough to avoid climate change’s worst impacts. We must drastically cut emissions and remove some carbon from the atmosphere. Fortunately, plants naturally absorb and store carbon. By protecting natural habitats and carefully managing farmland and forests, we can store billions of tons of this “living carbon.”
WHERE WE WORK.
This content is a success story in combating deforestation across Europe. Since 1993, Forest Europa has secured a common approach to dialogue, monitoring and policy-making. However, forest policy and management are facing emerging environmental and political challenges. Forest Europa’s role in forest sustainability needs to be reconsidered. How does it relate to other concepts? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Can it serve as a balancing instrument to moderate new demands on forests and their resources? We need to keep it relevant for the future.
Just like people, animals need homes. But when too many forests are cleared to plant crops and build roads, and too many seabeds are destroyed to gather fish, critters struggle to survive. This is called habitat destruction. Read on to learn how small changes from you can mean big help for wildlife.
Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe is Europe’s leading NGO coalition fighting dangerous climate change. We are a unique network, in which environmental and development organisations work together to issue joint lobby campaigns and maximise their impact. With over 200 member organisations active in 40 European countries, representing over 1,700 NGOs and more than 40 million citizens, CAN Europe promotes sustainable climate, energy and development policies throughout Europe.
The aim of this organization is to advocate for a better regulatory framework for the waste management sector, to achieve the best economic and environmental results and to strengthen the circular economy in Europe. Waste management companies enable the transition to a circular economy by generating resources and energy that can be reintroduced to the economy. They add value through innovative and cost-effective collection, sorting and recycling of secondary raw materials. This content contains information and experiences that enlighten visitors on waste management.
