Data on the Environment

With the indicator report "Data on the Environment – Environmental Monitor 2020", the German Environment Agency provides a condensed picture of the state of the environment, the causes of environmental pollution and starting points for improved policy action. For this purpose, a total of 30 important environmental indicators were selected and, where available, underpinned with existing political goals – for example, from the German sustainability strategy or EU directives. In summary, the system of environmental indicators provides a stocktaking of German environmental policy.
