Answer:

Renewed and adopted in 2006, the EU Sustainable Development Strategy (EU SDS) sets out

objectives and concrete actions for seven key priority challenges, mostly for the period until

2010:

1. Climate change and clean energy: to limit climate change and its costs and negative

effects to society and the environment;

2. Sustainable transport: to ensure that our transport systems meet society’s economic,

social and environmental needs whilst minimising their undesirable impacts on the

economy, society and the environment;

3. Sustainable consumption & production: to promote sustainable consumption and

production patterns;

4. Conservation and management of natural resources: to improve management and avoid

overexploitation of natural resources, recognising the value of ecosystem services;

5. Public Health: to promote good public health on equal conditions and improve protection

against health threats;

6. Social inclusion, demography and migration: to create a socially inclusive society by

taking into account solidarity between and within generations and to secure and increase

the quality of life of citizens as a precondition for lasting individual well-being;

7. Global poverty and sustainable development challenges: to actively promote sustainable

development worldwide and ensure that the European Union’s internal and external

policies are consistent with global sustainable development and its international

commitments.

Additionally, the renewed EU SDS includes two cross-cutting policies that aim to contribute to

the knowledge society: 1) Education and training; and, 2) Research and development.
