52 Environment¶

Environmental communication is global. Climate reports, sustainability disclosures, and environmental permits must be accurate across languages. Pauhu's Environment domain ensures your green credentials translate correctly.

Domain Coverage¶

The EuroVoc Environment domain includes:

Sub-domain	Examples
5206 Environmental policy	EU Green Deal, environmental law
5211 Natural environment	Ecosystems, biodiversity, conservation
5216 Deterioration of environment	Pollution, climate change, degradation
5221 Environmental resources	Water, air, soil resources
