With the help of CLC data it is possible to provide support for protecting ecosystems, halting the loss of biological diversity, tracking the impacts of climate change, assessing developments in agriculture and implementing the EU Water Framework Directive. CLC data is an important data set for the implementation of key priority areas of the Sixth Environment Action Programme of the European Community. CLC data can show, for instance, where fragmentation of the landscape by roads and other infrastructure is worsening and thus increasing the risk that ecosystems can no longer connect with each other, putting the survival of their flora and fauna in danger. In the agricultural field CLC data can highlight where major structural changes are continuing or intensifying, such as the conversion of pasture to arable land, expansion or reduction in the area of fallow land and land taken out of production ('set aside'), or the abandonment of farming altogether. CLC serve as input to the EC 'Inspire' (INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe - http://inspire.jrc.it) initiative. This initiative intends to trigger the creation of a European spatial information infrastructure that delivers to the users integrated spatial information services. CLC programme is also a contribution to the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES http://gmes.info) initiative, run by the European Commission and the European Space Agency, to provide environmental information from a combination of air- and space-based observation systems and in-situ monitoring.

The Specially Protected Areas of Mediterranean Importance (SPAMI) - version 1 (09/2013) is a dataset produced within the Spatial analysis of Marine Protected Area Networks in Europe´s seas, elaborated by ISPRA (Rome, Italy) and coordinated by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in 2013-2014. SPAMI are marine protected areas (MPAs) declared in the frame of the Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the marine environment and the coastal Region of the Mediterranean Sea (Barcelona Convention). Since no official layer of all the SPAMI areas was available in 2013, the shapefiles of each SPAMI were downloaded from the MAPAMED website (www.mapamed.org) and, for the purpose of running spatial MPA analysis and evaluations, they were merged in a unique dataset. Then, they were joined to a tabular list of SPAMI provided by the Regional Activity Centre for Specially Protected Areas (RACSPA), containing information on the names, dates of establishment and general characteristics of the sites (i.e. surface area). This list was received directly through the Secretariat, who is the depository of this information. NB: Reprojection issues have been identified for some polygons (e.g. in islands West of Italy)

The European inventory of nationally designated areas holds information about protected sites and about the national legislative instruments, which directly or indirectly create protected areas.

This is a cropped DTM version (with Frame2c) for providing topographic backgrouds on EEA maps. This is a hillshade of global digital elevation model (DEM) with a horizontal grid spacing of 30 arc seconds (approximately 1 kilometer).

100m resolution raster version of the European CLC-changes (1990-2000) vector data. CLC change mapping aimed to delineate all CLC change features larger than 5 ha (see CLC2006 Technical Guidelines in the specification). CLC-changes (2000-2006) raster data have been harmonized with CLC-changes (1990-2000) raster data.

The Common Database on Designated Areas (CDDA) is more commonly known as Nationally designated areas. The inventory began in 1995 under the CORINE programme of the European Commission. It is now one of the agreed Eionet priority data flows maintained by EEA with support from the European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity. It is a result of an annual data flow through Eionet countries. The EEA publishes the data set and makes it available to the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA) and to Eurostat. The CDDA data can also be queried online in the European Nature Information System (EUNIS). Geographical coverage of GIS vector boundary data: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Great Britain, Greece, Ireland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Kosovo under UNSC Resolution 1244/99, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, the North Macedonia, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and Switzerland. EEA does not have permission to distribute some or all sites reported by Austria, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Kosovo under UNSC Resolution 1244/99, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, Slovenia, Spain and Turkey.
