The European innovation scoreboard provides a comparative analysis of innovation performance in EU countries, other European countries, and regional neighbours. It assesses the relative strengths and weaknesses of national innovation systems and helps countries identify areas they need to address.
"Environmental sustainability captures improvements to reducing the negative impact on the environment including three indicators: Resource productivity, Exposure to Air pollution by fine particulates PM2.5, and the Development of environment-related technologies.."
The EIS 2021 distinguish between four main types of activities, and 12 innovation dimensions, capturing in total 32 indicators."
A list of the indicators is available on page 4 on the in-depth Methodology Report from the European Commission.
