European Atlas of Environmental Change and Climate Communities shows impact of global warming seen from space
Copenhagen 13 December - The rapidly changing environment of
parts of Europe is chronicled in a new atlas of change, launched today
by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the UN Environment
Programme (UNEP). The significance of global warming and its
alterations in Europe's climate and economy are vividly depicted via
'before-and-after' satellite imagery. At the same time, the Atlas
provides an important opportunity to show some positive environmental
changes thanks to community initiatives on the ground, emphasising the
importance of local action to combat climate change.
