Statistics on climate change mitigation is a Eurostat online publication presenting data about climate impacts related to activities of economic actors, such as producers and consumers. It consists of four articles, each featuring interactive graphs and maps that allow users to explore data from the environmental accounts on their own. The publication is complemented by an environmental accounts dashboard, which visualises further statistics on the topics of climate change, environmental economy, circular economy and environmental footprints.
This publication is based on environmental economic accounts, in particular the air emissions accounts, physical energy flow accounts and environmental goods and services sector accounts. The environmental accounts are a statistical framework that integrates economic and environmental data to assess how the environment contributes to the economy and how economic activities affect the environment. They use the same concepts, classifications and variables as national accounts to monitor the links between the environment and economic activities according to the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (NACE).
