Study in focus: Sampling points for air quality
Air quality monitoring at fixed sites is a major instrument provided for in the Ambient Air Quality Directive to check compliance with limit or target values, which have been set for the protection of human health. This study analyses the criteria for the location of monitoring sites in five Member States to identify ambiguous provisions that might lead to different assessments of air pollution exposure.
Study in focus: International Climate Negotiations
In view of the 24th Conference of the Parties (COP24) under the United Nations Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC) in Katowice, Poland, in December 2018, the study by Neier et al. 2018 provides an overview of the current state of play of International Climate Negotiations. While it introduces the UNFCCC, its bodies and key terms, as well as milestones and key players in international climate negotiations, it summarises the negotiation process under the UNFCCC, related international developments as ...
Okoljska politika: splošna načela in osnovni okvir
Evropska okoljska politika temelji na previdnostnem načelu in na načelih, da je treba delovati preventivno in okoljsko škodo odpravljati pri viru ter da mora za nastalo škodo plačati povzročitelj. Okvir za prihodnje ukrepe na področju okoljske politike postavljajo večletni okoljski akcijski programi. Ti so vpeti v horizontalne strategije in se upoštevajo v mednarodnih pogajanjih o okoljskih zadevah, bistvenega pomena pa je njihovo izvajanje.
Onesnaževanje zraka in obremenjenost s hrupom
Onesnažen zrak škoduje našemu zdravju in okolju. Večinoma izvira iz industrije, prometa, proizvodnje energije in kmetijstva. Cilj strategije EU za kakovost zraka je popolno upoštevanje veljavne zakonodaje na področju kakovosti zraka do leta 2020 in določa dolgoročne cilje za leto 2030. Direktiva o okoljskem hrupu je namenjena merjenju ravni hrupa v EU in sprejetju ukrepov za njeno zmanjšanje na sprejemljivo raven. Ločena zakonodaja ureja emisije hrupa iz posameznih virov.
Podnebne spremembe in okolje
Na konferenci OZN o podnebnih spremembah, ki je potekala decembra 2015 v Parizu, so se pogodbenice z vsega sveta dogovorile o omejitvi globalnega segrevanja na precej pod 2 °C v primerjavi s predindustrijsko ravnjo. EU si prizadeva, da bi do leta 2030 zmanjšala emisije toplogrednih plinov za vsaj 40 % v primerjavi z ravnjo iz leta 1990, obenem pa izboljšala energetsko učinkovitost za 27 % in povečala delež obnovljivih virov energije v končni porabi na 27 %. Pomemben mehanizem v boju proti podnebnim ...
Comparing EU and US Car Emissions Legislation
This study was commissioned by Policy Department A at the request of the committee of inquiry into emission measurements in the automotive sector (EMIS). It provides a comparative study on the differences between the EU and US legislation on emissions in the automotive sector, covering the emissions standards themselves; the systems for their implementation and enforcement, including approval systems for vehicles; and the respective regimes for prohibiting the use of defeat devices.
Emission Measurements - Legal Obligations
This study looks at the discrepancy in NOx emissions between type-approval tests and real-world driving. It examines the legal stakeholder obligations with regard to emission measurements in the European type-approval process and offers insights into the practical implementation of type-approval procedures throughout the EU. This study was provided by Policy Department A at the request of the Committee of Inquiry into Emission Measurements in the Automotive Sector (EMIS).
Implementing the Paris Agreement - COP 22
Study in focus: The study summarises the developments leading to the adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change in 2015 and provides an overview of its contents. The further implementation process and the roles of the main Parties and other stakeholders are discussed, as well as related international developments and the challenges of the climate change conference in Marrakesh (COP 22) from 7 to 18 November 2016.
Study in Focus - Implementation: Ambient Air Quality
Exposure to elevated air pollution levels has substantial negative impacts on human health and the environment. The main pollutants are particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3). The Ambient Air Quality Directive therefore sets limit and target values for the concentration of air pollutants. Thresholds for particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide are exceeded in several Member States.
