Memo: Statement by Commissioner Potočnik following the Resource Efficiency Finance roundtable

The Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe was adopted in September 2011 and outlines how we can transform Europe's economy into a sustainable one by 2050. It proposes ways to increase resource productivity and decouple economic growth from resource use and its environmental impact. The Resource Efficiency Finance Roundtable was listed as one of the actions to be taken by the Commission in order to identify ways of developing adequate finance for resource efficiency.
