EU Roadmap „Resource efficient Europe“

The vision behind the roadmap

By 2050 the EU has grown in a way that respects resource constraints and within planetary boundaries, thus contributing to global economic

  • transformation. Our economy is competitive, inclusive and provides a

high standard of living with much lower environmental impacts. All resources are sustainably managed, from raw materials to energy, water, air, land and soil. Climate change milestones have been reached, while biodiversity and the ecosystem services it underpins have been protected, valued and substantially restored.

For the EU, resource efficiency is the route to this vision. It allows the economy to create more with less, delivering greater value with less input, using resources in a sustainable way and minimising their impacts on the environment.

EU Roadmap „Resource efficient Europe“

Key areas Transforming the economy

  • Sustainable

Consumption and Production

  • Turning waste into a

resource

  • Supporting research

and innovation

  • Environmentally

harmful subsidies and getting the prices right

Natural capital and ecosystem services

  • Ecosystem Services
  • Biodiversity
  • Mineral and Metals
  • Water
  • Safeguarding clear air
  • Land and Soils
  • Marine Resources

Key sectors

  • Addressing food
  • Improving buildings
  • Ensuring efficient

mobility

slide-8
SLIDE 8

1. Addressing markets and prices, taxes and subsidies that do not reflect the real costs of resource use and lock the economy into an unsustainable path; 2. Encouraging more long-term innovative thinking in business, finance and politics that leads to the uptake of new sustainable practices and stimulates breakthroughs in innovation, and develops forward thinking, cost effective regulation; 3. Carrying out the research to fill the gaps in our knowledge and skills and provide the right information and training; 4. Dealing with international competitiveness concerns, and seeking to get a consensus with international partners to move in a similar direction.

  • reviews national approaches to resource

efficiency and explores similarities and differences in policies, strategies, indicators and targets, policy drivers and institutional setup and information gaps

  • considerations for future policies on resource

efficiency which could be considered in developing future resource efficiency policies at the EU and country levels

  • illustrated with short examples of policy

initiatives in the countries, described in more detail in country profile documents available at http://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/economy/res

  • Reduce environmental impacts of resource use
  • Improve the sustainability and competitiveness
  • f the German industry
  • Impacts along the whole value chain
  • raw materials supply
  • production and product design

Summary: elements of a global resource strategy

  • Absolute decoupling of resource use from economic

development (“Factor X”)

  • Introduction of effective policy measures to greatly enhance

resource productivity as well as curbing demand over time

  • Seeking societal consensus on ecological and economic

indicators

  • Seeking dialog with business community to help redesign

business models where revenues would be increasingly derived from quality of services rather than by selling material products

  • Initiating process to rethink lifestyles and help develop

consumption patterns based on sufficiency and careful use of natural resources
