Driving the news: The European Environment Agency (EEA) has launched the European Environment and Health Atlas, an interactive online platform that allows users to assess environmental factors affecting health and well-being, such as air quality, noise levels, and green spaces.

Why it matters for the planet: The atlas provides a user-friendly tool to better understand how local environments impact health and well-being. Some striking facts:

  • 97% of the urban population in Europe is exposed to unsafe levels of air pollution.
  • 20% of the EU population lives in areas where noise levels are harmful to health.
  • 85% of European bathing waters are of excellent quality.

What’s next:  The atlas will be a "living product," updated regularly and open to user feedback.

  • Watch for updates to the tool and potential policy changes inspired by the atlas's data.
