The indicator measures the total amount spent from the annual budget of the EU Member States as well as of the European Commission and the European Investment Bank, in order to contribute to the international 100bn USD commitment for climate finance under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The 21st UNFCCC Conference of the Parties in Paris urged developed-country Parties again to ‘scale up their level of financial support, with a concrete roadmap to achieve the goal of jointly providing USD 100 billion annually by 2020 for mitigation and adaptation and to further provide appropriate technology and capacity-building support.

Data on European cities were collected in the Urban Audit and in the Large City Audit project. The projects' ultimate goal is to contribute towards the improvement of the quality of urban life: it supports the exchange of experience among European cities; it helps to identify best practices; it facilitates benchmarking at the European level and provides information on the dynamics within the cities and with their surroundings. At the city level, the Urban Audit contains 171 variables and 62 indicators. These indicators are derived from the variables collected by the European Statistical System. The data is published in 20 tables within 2 main groups, plus a perception survey table: Cities and greater cities (urb_cgc) Population on 1 January by age groups and sex - cities and greater cities (urb_cpop1) Population structure - cities and greater cities (urb_cpopstr) Population by citizenship and country of birth - cities and greater cities (urb_cpopcb) Fertility and mortality - cities and greater cities (urb_cfermor) Living conditions - cities and greater cities (urb_clivcon) Education - cities and greater cities (urb_ceduc) Culture and tourism - cities and greater cities (urb_ctour) Labour market - cities and greater cities (urb_clma) Economy and finance - cities and greater cities (urb_cecfi) Transport - cities and greater cities (urb_ctran) Environment - cities and greater cities (urb_cenv) Functional Urban Area (urb_luz) Population on 1 January by age groups and sex - Functional Urban Area (urb_lpop1)Population structure - Functional Urban Area (urb_lpopstr)Population by citizenship and country of birth - Functional Urban Area (urb_lpopcb) Fertility and mortality - Functional Urban Area (urb_lfermor)Living conditions - Functional Urban Area (urb_llivcon)Education - Functional Urban Area (urb_leduc) Labour market - Functional Urban Area (urb_llmma) Transport - Functional Urban Area (urb_ltran) Environment - Functional Urban Area (urb_lenv)Perception survey results (urb_percep) Data has been collected on four spatial levels in the Urban Audit: The City (C) according to the administrative definition, as the basic level,The Functional Urban Area (FUA) being an approximation of the functional urban zone centered around the city, andIn some cases, the urban centre stretches far beyond its boundaries. To better capture the entire urban centre, a 'greater city' level (K), has been created. This level was created for some capitals and several other large cities.The Sub-City District (SCD) being a subdivision of the city according to population criteria.

This dataset includes data on greenhouse gas emissions inventory, as reported to the European Environment Agency (EEA). Note that Eurostat is not the producer of these data, only re-publishes them. The European Union (EU) as a party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reports annually its greenhouse gas inventory for the year t-2 and within the area covered by its Member States. The inventory contains data on carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). The EU inventory is fully consistent with national greenhouse gas inventories compiled by the EU Member States. Values flagged with 'd' have the notation key 'IE' (included elsewhere) in the original dataset published by the EEA. Notation key combinations that include NE (not estimated), as well as values reported with the additional notation key used by EEA ' – ', are reported as missing values in the air_env_gge dataset. All notation keys combinations that include a C (confidential) are flagged as confidential. The notation keys NA and NO are not associated with a flag. EEA notation keys: NO – not occurring. NE – not estimated. NA – not applicable. IE – included elsewhere. C – confidential.

The indicator measures the number of patents related to recycling and secondary raw materials. The attribution to recycling and secondary raw materials was done using the relevant codes in the Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) (list of CPC codes selected). The term 'patents' refers to patent families, which include all documents relevant to a distinct invention (e.g. applications to multiple authorities), thus preventing multiple counting. A fraction of the family is allocated to each applicant and relevant technology.
