Employment in the EU environmental economy by NACE Rev. 2 activity

This table presents employment in the European Union’s (EU’s) environmental economy, as it is defined in the <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Glossary:Environmental_goods_and_services_sector_(EGSS)" target="_blank">European environmental goods and services sector (EGSS)</a> accounts. The environmental economy encompasses activities and products that serve either of two purposes: ‘environmental protection’ — that is, preventing, reducing and eliminating pollution or any other degradation of the environment, or ‘resource management’ — that is, preserving and maintaining the stock of natural resources, hence safeguarding it against depletion.
