Europe’s Climate and Environment

EPISODE 8 (audio) Europe has a waste problem. How much is too much and what are we doing to reduce it?

We live in a take-away, throw-away society where convenience is king.
But what impact is all the waste this creates (construction & mining, food, plastics, textiles, etc) having on our environment and what are we doing to reduce it and to build a more sustainable, circular future?
We sat down with our two circular economy and waste experts Tobias Nielsen, and Sanna Due, together with students from the Danish School of Media and Journalism to discuss the issue during our live recording.

EPISODE 4 What is the state of our nature and water in Europe?

In Episode 4 of our special series on Europe's environment 2025 we explore the state of our nature and waters with our EEA experts Frank and Caroline, who explain what the challenges are and how climate change is further complicating the survival of our ecosystems and surface waters. We also explore what is being done to better protect and preserve our biodiversity and Europe's many rivers, lakes, and coastal waters.
