EUs Vision for a resource efficient, “green” economy

What is a green economy? Development that ensures food, water materials and energy security for all (forever) Respects planetary boundaries Maintain ecosystem integrity and biodiversity

Preserve natural capital Halt biodiversity loss Restore damaged ecosystems and ecosystem services Expand the global protected areas network

Redirect financial flows Value nature Account for environmental and social costs Support and reward conservation, sustainable resource management and innovations

Produce better Reduce input and waste Manage resources sustainably Scale up renewable energy production

Consume more wisely Achieve low footprint life-styles Change energy consumption patterns Promote healthy consumption patterns

Equitable resource governance Share available resources Make fair and ecologically aware choices Measure success beyond GDP

Invest in green jobs and green infrastructure!
