| Summary: |
As a highly dependent region on foreign supply, the European Union (EU) has set resource-efficiency as a first level priority to ensure environmental protection, economic prosperity and social welfare. To address this challenge, multiple strategic frameworks and specific policies in key sectors promote the shift to a new model of more sustainable and circular economy, reflecting the Europe 2020 Strategy. Though relevant, progresses are scarce and asymmetric, depending on the area and the Member States concerned. Therefore, additional efforts will be needed to achieve the goal of an economic system in which all resources are used and pumped back into productive use again. Besides its domestic policy, the EU also strives to promote efficient-resource management globally, especially in poor countries. However, some inconsistencies and the lack of a specific strategy for its external action undermine the EU's credibility as an actor of sustainable development, while waiting for a more holistic framework for action. |
