Green revolution: making eco-efficiency a driver for growth
26 January 2012

It is well-acknowledged that in order to exit the economic crisis, Europe must find ways to renew itself and it needs new sources of growth. This Issue Paper, written by Annika Ahtonen with Serban Chiorean-Sime, argues that eco-efficiency should be an important part of the solution. This includes using resources more efficiently throughout our economy, recognising their value as the basis of well-being and economic growth, and developing and taking into use resource-efficient, low-carbon products and services. The EU cannot afford to wait: the costs of inaction are already felt in Member States, regions, public and private sectors, and among citizens.
