The Fifth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health, organized by WHO/Europe and hosted by Italy, is the latest milestone in the European environment and health process, now in its twentieth year.

This report assesses the environmental consequences of key socio-economic developments in Europe, particularly in relation to climate change, air and water quality, and considers options for a more sustainable future. Projected developments are discussed in the light of Europe's current policy targets, as adopted in the EU's sustainable development strategy and the Sixth Environment Action Programme. Issues covered include: the environmental impact of changing demographic patterns; prospects for meeting greenhouse gas emissions targets and renewable energy resources; air and water pollution issues, including the urban wastewater treatment directive; and the impact of EU enlargement on EU environmental policies. Conclusions reached include that, despite successes in some areas, the EU continues to face significant challenges in meeting its long term environmental commitments; and that policy-makers must adopt a more integrated approach in order to provide a coherent response across key sectors, including transport and agricultural policies.
