The European Environment Agency (EEA) provides information to support environmental policy in Europe. It works through a network of organizations called Eionet that includes National Focal Points and European Topic Centres. One topic centre focuses on noise and advises the EEA and EU organizations on noise-related issues. This includes implementing the Environmental Noise Directive, developing common noise assessment methods, and publishing reports on recommended noise guidelines and health impacts of road traffic noise in Europe. The EEA also collaborates with the EPA Network, an informal group of environmental agencies, to share experiences and work towards harmonization of noise monitoring, reduction measures, and limit values across Europe.
The document discusses how fragility and fragile states will be addressed in the post-2015 development framework.

This document summarizes a presentation on 3D printing given in Melbourne, Australia in 2015. It discusses recent growth trends in the 3D printing industry, with revenues quadrupling over the past 5 years to $4.1 billion in 2014. New machine technologies allow for more control at the voxel level and properties like strength, elasticity, and conductivity of printed parts. Major aerospace companies like Airbus and GE Aviation are significantly increasing production of metal and composite parts using 3D printing. The supply chain for additive manufacturing, especially of metals, is still in its early stages of development. The presentation predicts continued strong growth in the 3D printing industry, with revenues projected to reach $21.2 billion by 2020.
