A research note from the High Level Construction Forum (HLCF) highlights the benefits of offsite construction in the EU, while addressing key challenges like skills shortages, regulatory barriers, and financing constraints.
The MAPAFISH-MED project characterised 949 MPAs in the EU Mediterranean and BlackSea, focused on fishing activities. Check out how many of these MPAs were effectively managed, incl. lessons learnt and recommendations. Download the final report.
The latest CMA for the Black Sea factsheet is available, providing an overview of the main objectives, goals and priorities, collaborations, as well as key figures, and success stories.
The study provides an overview of climate-smart actions and values in plans per country, focusing on climate change mitigation (low-carbon pathways) and adaptation - enhancing resilience of maritime activities, marine/coastal areas and ecosystems, as well as communities’ socio-economic resilience to climate-related risks.
The European Maritime Transport Environmental Report (EMTER) is the first comprehensive overview of the environmental footprint of the maritime transport sector in the EU. Using fully updated facts, data, and information in areas like greenhouse gas emissions, air emissions, underwater noise, biodiversity, pollution, and marine litter, EMTER also analyses current and future actions to reduce the maritime sector's impact on our environment, including in the context of new legislation on maritime decarbonisation supporting the European Green Deal.
The newly-published EU Coastline Macro Litter Trend report found that the amount of marine macro litter (items bigger than 2.5 cm) in the EU coastline has dropped by 29 % between the baseline period (2015-2016) and the assessment period (2020-2021). The Mediterranean showed one of the largest drops with 38%.
This study evaluates the capacity of Montenegrin residential buildings to prevent overheating by analysing building features, occupant behaviour, and climate data, highlighting the need for proactive policies and improved passive design measures.
This paper presents a methodology to model energy savings from building retrofits in the EU, showing potential savings of 40–60% in space heating, with varying costs based on climate and insulation.
The European Blue Forum Annual Report highlights a transformative year of growth, collaboration, and action towards a sustainable Blue Economy.
