| The overall goal of the Acid Rain Program is to achieve significant environmental and public health benefits through reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), the primary causes of acid rain. To achieve this goal at the lowest cost to society, the program employs both traditional and innovative, market-based approaches for controlling air pollution. In addition, the program encourages energy efficiency and pollution prevention. http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/arp/

| Although still in its infancy, the Convention on Biological Diversity is already making itself felt. The philosophy of sustainable development, the ecosystem approach, and the emphasis on building partnerships are all helping to shape global action on biodiversity. The data and reports that governments are gathering and sharing with each other are providing a sound basis for understanding the challenges and collaborating on the solutions. http://www.biodiv.org/

| Triggered by a Dutch initiative, IMPEL was conceived at an informal meeting of the Community Environment Ministers in 1991 where it was agreed that:
"...it would be desirable as a first step to establish a Network of representatives of relevant national authorities and the Commission in the field of enforcement, primarily aimed at the exchange of information in the field of compliance and enforcement, and at the development of common approaches at a practical level." http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/impel/

| The European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) is an intergovernmental organisation established by a Protocol signed in Brussels on 17 October 1953. It is a forum in which Ministers responsible for transport, and more specifically the inland transport sector, can co-operate on policy. Within this forum, Ministers can openly discuss current problems and agree upon joint approaches aimed at improving the utilisation and at ensuring the rational development of European transport systems of international importance. http://www.oecd.org/cem/

| For most of us, waste is the bags of household rubbish that leave our households every week. We know that it ‘goes somewhere’ – but few have actually seen a landfill site, a waste incineration plant, or a recycling centre, and most of us do not give it much more thought. http://themes.eea.eu.int/Environmental_issues/waste

||
| The destruction of the ozone layer, which protects all living things from harmful ultraviolet solar radiation, was one of the first, global environmental problems to be understood by the general population and tackled by the international community. http://themes.eea.eu.int/Environmental_issues/ozone

| The EEA reports presented in this section should certainly set some bells ringing. Although certain pollution levels are falling, and nature protection is becoming better integrated into urban planning, agriculture, and other policies, biodiversity across the EU is still under threat from a wide range of sources. http://themes.eea.eu.int/Environmental_issues/biodiversity

| Good air quality is a prerequisite for health and well-being of humans and ecosystems. Under this theme you will find information on the state and trends of air quality in Europe. Technical documents, about monitoring programmes for example, are presented under the air theme. http://themes.eea.eu.int/Environmental_issues/air_quality
