In the figure below we present the conceptual model of the monitor, and the approach of the 2-year study. It consists of three pillars: 1.Trends; 2.Drivers and barriers; and 3. Impacts. For the first pillar regular updates of available data and new datacollection will be carried out. For the second and third pillar policy case studies and a wide range of exploratory analysis will be performed in order to improve and extend our understanding of changes. These changes will be available through EC data analysis systems.
