This report provides outlooks to 2030 on population exposed to road, rail and aircraft noise as well as on health impacts. The outlooks comprise two scenarios, one that is conservative (i.e. the minimum implementation of existing and forthcoming regulations) and one optimistic scenario which includes a more extensive set of measures. The assessment is done in order to determine if the EU Action Plan 'Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil' with the commitment to reduce by 2030 the share of people chronically disturbed by noise from transport by 30 % compared to 2017, could be achieved considering the outlooks calculated.

The report examines city-level mapping at the European scale, with the aim to provide consistent spatial information at NUTS3 and city levels across Europe. It introduces the population-weighted concentration based on the mapping results as a potential new approach for the city ranking. It also suggests several possibilities of future development towards the European-wide city level mapping in a fine resolution.
This report provides recommendations to enhance and make better use of Copernicus information in EEA activities related to air pollution, industrial sources, transport and noise.
