Data on the Environment 2017

In its indicator report Data on the Environment 2017, the German Environment Agency gives a comprehensive overview of the state of the environment, the causes of environmental pollution and leverage points for improvement. A total of 50 indicators have been selected from all environmental domains and, wherever possible, underpinned by policy targets, as defined in documents such as the German Sustainable Development Strategy or EU directives. Thus, the environmental indicator system is also a record of environmental policy.
