European Environment is under pressure due to human activities

Europe’s environment is struggling, the nature in Europe is facing levels of degradation, overexploitation and biodiversity loss that pose a direct threat to European stability, security and living standards.Despite progress in areas such as cutting greenhouse gas emissions and ramping up renewable energy, the overall state of Europe’s environment is “not good”.Unsustainable production and consumption patterns driven by the food system are leading to a decline in biodiversity across European land and water. An estimated 80% of protected habitats are in a poor or bad state and 60-70% of soils are degraded. Can human activities reaaly be limited with the ever growing population ?
