SLU’s environmental monitoring and assessment finds out how healthy our environment is and how its health is progressing. Our experts seek answers to how our world’s natural resources can be used sustainably. By sharing our data, knowledge and expertise, we create the conditions for a thriving world.
How healthy is our environment? The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SLU, has a unique mission in Swedish society. In addition to education and research, we conduct environmental monitoring and assessment, EMA.
The goal of environmental monitoring and assessment is to determine how healthy our environment is and how its health is progressing. Our environmental analysts and researchers systematically collect, analyse and process environmental data. Drawing on the latest research, we create sought-after decision support material that clarifies how the world’s natural resources can be used efficiently and sustainably. Together with authorities and others, we further efforts to achieve environmental and sustainability goals.
We investigate and analyse all types of natural, used and built environments. Some of our data series stretch back over 100 years. By openly sharing our data, knowledge and expertise, we create the conditions for well-founded decisions. This will ensure that we can continue to live and enjoy a rich environment in the future.
