The Environmental Profile of Spain 2015 is a report prepared at the Directorate General for Environmental Quality and Assessment and Natural Environment (the National Focal Point of the European Environment Agency in Spain) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and Environment. This annual series, which began with the Environmental Profile of Spain 2004, has the objective of making the details of the environmental situation in Spain accessible to the largest possible audience, with information broken down per autonomous community and in reference to the European Union.
This edition maintains the structure of the previous year, with a first section that includes the analysis of themes of environmental significance, a second part comprised of 80 indicators, distributed across 18 chapters, and a third section that offers information broken down by autonomous communities, prepared in collaboration with the Regional Focal Points of the EIONET Network of the European Environment Agency. Since the 2012 edition, the publication has been available to download and is available for mobile devices, formats that have been maintained this year.
