This metadata refer to the dataset presenting the annual change in heatwave exposure of people over 65, expressed as the deviation in annual person-days of heatwave exposure relative to the 1986-2005 baseline. Heat exposure poses acute health risks, particularly to older people (ie, people older than 65 years), people with underlying, chronic respiratory, kidney, or heart disease, people living in urban areas, and people with little means to access cooling mechanisms. These heat-related health risks are of particular relevance to Europe, as the continent is experiencing ageing populations, urbanisation, and a high prevalence of chronic diseases.
Progress to targets for renewable energy is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023) by EU Member States. The dataset provides information regarding Member State's renewable energy shares and capacities. Most of the data is 'prefilled' from Eurostat data on shares and capacities. The rest of the information is collected by the EEA and quality checked. This reporting obligation comes from the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2299 (Annex II).
Progress to targets for adaptation is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023) by EU Member States. The dataset provides information regarding Member State's adaptation goals and how they are integrated with National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) and how adaptation concerns could affect delivering the objectives of the Energy Union. The EEA collects and quality checks this data. This reporting obligation comes from Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2299 (Annex III).
Progress to targets for energy efficiency is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023) by EU Member States. The dataset provides information regarding Member State's energy efficiency contributions and progress in achieving them. The EEA collects and quality checks this data. The dataset links to data from Eurostat regarding Primary Energy Consumption (PEC) and Final Energy Consumption (FEC) in the period of 2020-2030. This reporting obligation comes from the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2299 (Annex IV).
Additional reporting in the area of renewable energy is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023) by EU Member States. The dataset provides information regarding Member States functioning system for guarantees of origin (GO), renewable energy surplus/deficits, biomass use and impacts, and renewable energy usage in buildings. The EEA collects and quality checks this data. The dataset links to data from Eurostat. This reporting obligation comes from the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2299 (Annex XVI).
Additional reporting obligations in the area of energy efficiency is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023). The dataset provides additional information on energy efficiency and the role of buildings (public and nearly-zero energy buildings). The EEA collects and quality checks this data. This reporting obligation comes from the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, Implementing Regulation 2022/2299 (Annex XVII).
This database contains a number of integrated national climate and energy policies and measures (PaM) implemented or planned by European countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve climate and energy targets. Most of these PaMs have been reported to the European Commission, the United Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) or the EEA. Only EU27 provide PaMs reporting on elements covering areas of the Energy Union.
Integrated national climate and energy ‘policies and measures’ (PaMs) cover all actions which contribute to meeting the objectives of the integrated national energy and climate plans. European countries are committed to adopting, implementing and planning policies and taking the corresponding measures to achieve climate change mitigation and energy targets, such as reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, producing additional renewable energy, or reducing overall energy consumption. All European countries report information on implemented, adopted or planned PaMs every 2 years under the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action Regulation and its two Implementing Regulations (EU) 2020/1208 and (EU) 2022/2299.
