Abstract

The sustainability transition is built on a triple promise: a healthy planet and thriving environment; economic growth that is decoupled from resource use and environmental degradation; and an assurance that no person or place will be left behind. As the EU proceeds with this historic transformation, building a positive vision and preserving the sense of opportunity and optimism will be vital to building broad democratic support for the necessary changes and trade-offs, in challenging circumstances. This report outlines the key areas in which action is highly needed, if we are to achieve the sustainability transition and strengthen links between its environmental, social, and economic aspects.
