The European Environment Agency (EEA) is an agency of the European Union that provides independent information on the environment. Established in 1993, its main goal is to support sustainable development and help policymakers make informed decisions regarding environmental issues across Europe. The EEA collects and analyzes data on various environmental topics, including air quality, climate change, and biodiversity. It publishes reports and assessments that inform the public and governments about the state of the environment, aiming to promote awareness and encourage action to protect natural resources.
