  1. Territorial Trends and Policy Impacts in the Field of EU Environmental Policy ESPON Project 2.4.1

  2. The Project • September 2005 – May 2006 • Interim Report, 15th February 2006 • Final Report, 31st May 2006 • Partners: • Geological Survey of Finland (LP) • European Topic Centre on Terrestrial Environment – Universitat Autonòma de Barcelona, Spain • Plan + Risk Consult, Germany • Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning – Office for Spatial Development, Slovenia • GeoVille, Austria • Geographic Information Management SA, Luxembourg

  3. The Main Objectives • Territorial trends, situations and structures in relation to the main environmental issues of relevance for the development of regions and larger territories • Proposal on a Territorial Impact Assessment (TIA) of EU Environmental Policy and testing TIA approach on three major elements of EU Environmental Policy • Recommendations and proposals on future applied research projects

  4. Results so far • Review of EU Environmental Policy documents • Identifying spatial relevant elements and documents of EU Environmental Policy • Territorial Impact Assessment for European Environmental Policy – three test cases: Water, Nature & Biodiversity, Civil Protection • Review of European environmental indicators and identification of spatial relevant indicators • Development of indicators on urban growth & productivity, area of the Natura2000 network • Preliminary recommendations for future applied research

  5. Territorial Impact Assessment for EU Environmental Policy General Territorial Trend Environmental Policy Element Territorial Objectives Specific Environmental Trend • Cohesion • territorial quality • territorial efficiency • territorial identity • Nature & Biodiversity • Water • Civil Protection • Soil • Waste • Land Use + Story line (increasing/decreasing effect) + Best needed/available indicators

  6. Example decreasing effect: -1 increasing effect: +2 Story line: The territorial efficiency gets benefit from the gradual increase in total activity rate, but reserving the land for protected areas may have negative impact on it. Reservation of land for protection areas prevents other use of land and may hinder other important activities in the region. Indicator for case study Finland: % of people working in mining or quarrying industry X % of NATURA 2000 network area of the whole region

  7. …and maps: Natura 2000 network area x mining workers X

  8. … and more maps and indicators under development
