Greenhouse gas monitoring – and increasingly climate policy monitoring, meaning the continuous tracking of policies with indicators – has existed since the early 1990s – and is thus a long-standing practice.

As several crises have shown, however, this goal is far from being achieved, and a reform of Europe’s asylum policy is long overdue.
