The European Environment Agency (EEA) describes the keys to achieving sustainable development in Europe and being able to face the general challenge of the 21st century: achieving global sustainability that balances socioeconomic, environmental and climatic aspects.
It offers the main points of view on the challenges for environmental sustainability, focusing on 3 aspects: climate change, the natural environment and pollution and health.
Europe is already a leader in environmental technology and research. Innovation must be harnessed for sustainable development and the transition to sustainability facilitated through well-informed governance and citizen engagement.
