Environmental technology introduction
Europe is a world leader in eco-efficient technologies. The EU's eco-industries, which employ more than two million people, account for about one third of the global market and are growing by around 5 % a year. However, substantial barriers to the exploitation of these opportunities remain, especially environmentally-damaging subsidies and the absence of financial incentives to eco-innovate. The move towards a continent-wide zero-emission sustainable economy era depends on a combination of actions that involve all segments of society: from governments to researchers, enterprises and individual citizens.
