Sustainable Development: to meet the needs of the present without

compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs

System coordination of economic, ecological and human development

in such a way that from one generation to the other the quality and

safety of life should not decrease, the environmental conditions should

not worsen and the social progress should meet the needs of every

person

Vladimir Vernadsky, 1947

Strategy Mix:

efficiency enhanced productivity / resource

consistency enhanced economies embedded in the natural cycles

sufficiency

new concept of prosperity / satisfaction / material wealth

Energy savings is one of the most cost effective ways to enhance

security of energy supply, and to reduce emissions of greenhouse gas

and other pollutants. This is why in 2007, the EU has set itself a

target for saving 20 percent of its energy consumption by 2020.The 20% objective translates into a saving of 368 million tons of oil

equivalent (Mtoe) by 2020 compared to projected consumption in

that year of 1842 Mtoe. This needs to be achieved by the EU as a

whole.

According to the Commission's most recent projections, which take

into account measures implemented at national and European level

up to the end of December 2009, consumption in 2020 is expected to

be 1678 Mtoe, equivalent to a saving of only 9% relative to the

previous projection. This is illustrated on the next figure.
