Proceedings of the Workshop on "Resource Efficiency"
Within the framework of the EU 2020 Strategy, the Commission adopted the Flagship Initiative on “A Resource Efficient Europe” in the beginning of 2011. This was followed by the “Roadmap for a resource-efficient Europe”, which provides the framework in which future actions can be designed and implemented coherently. The workshop discussed the challenges and best practices in the light of the upcoming European Parliament’s INI Report on “A resource-efficient Europe”.
