CEP to review and consolidate on the mapping, analysis and measurement of green infrastructure in Europe

CEP has been appointed by the European Environment Agency (EEA) to prepare a report consolidating previous European research (e.g. from the EEA, DG Environment, Joint Research Centre) on approaches for mapping, analysis and measurement of green infrastructure in Europe. The report will assist policy-makers in understanding which questions the existing approaches can provide answers to and how the information can be used in a policy context.

The project builds on CEP’s expertise in European policy support, land use and spatial planning, ecosystem services and green infrastructure.

CEP’s Ric Eales and Peter Phillips are delivering this project. 

CEP to develop methodology for understanding the implications of global megatrends for EU member states

CEP has been awarded the contract to support, develop and test a methodology to help European member states explore and understand the implications of global megatrends for the environment and for policy at the national level.

This exciting and innovative project is funded by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and is being delivered under the aegis of the European Environment Agency (EEA) EIONET FLIS .  The project will draw on the EEA State and Outlook Report (SOER) 2015 Global Megatrends report, which CEP also contributed to. 

Owen White is CEP’s lead for this project.
