The European environment – state and outlook 2010: Synthesis

Key message 4 — SOER synthesis

SOER 2010 Message (Deprecated) Published 28 Jan 2011
Natural resources and waste — Environmental regulation and eco-innovation have increased resource efficiency through a relative decoupling of resource use, emissions and waste generation from economic growth in some areas. However, absolute decoupling remains a challenge, especially for households. This indicates scope not only to improve production processes further, but also to alter consumption patterns to reduce environmental pressures.
