Veröffentlichung Analysis of the circular material use rate and the doubling target(2023) Christis, Maarten; Vercalsteren, An; Nuss, Philip; European Environment AgencyThis report analyses the progress made by the European Union (EU) in the circular material use rate (CMUR), supporting a better understanding of the observed status and trends. In addition, it provides a first simplified assessment of the prospects of the EU to move towards its ambition to double the CMUR within a decade, in the context of the Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) and the European Green Deal (EGD). Broadening the scope, the report looks also into unaccounted flows of recycled materials, a key driver of CMUR. It also complements the CMUR assessment by quantifying environmental impacts linked to material consumption, the main current driver of CMUR. This analysis helps to understand and interpret the observed status, trends and possible future developments for the CMUR, both on the total CMUR as well as on the CMUR for the four broad material categories as published by Eurostat. The insights are considered in the context of the CEAPâ€Ìs aim of "doubling the CMUR in the coming decade" at the EU level. The integration of the environmental impact from material uses brings in different perspectives into the analysis and interpretation of the CMUR. © European Topic Centre on Circular economy and resource use, 2023Veröffentlichung Floodplains: a natural system to preserve and restore(Europäische Union / Amt für Veröffentlichungen, 2020) Christiansen, Trine; Azlak, Muhammet; Ivits-Wasser, Eva; Völker, Jeanette; European Environment AgencyFloodplains are part of Europe's natural capital, covering 7 % of the continent's area and up to 30 % of its terrestrial Natura 2000 site area. Studies have shown that 70-90 % of floodplains have been environmentally degraded. The objective of this work is to showcase that natural floodplains support achieving multiple EU policy objectives. More specifically to show that natural and restored floodplains provide an alternative to structural measures for providing flood protection, and at the same time support achieving higher quality ecosystem service like improved water quality, improved conditions for biodiversity conservation and improved recreational value.
