About the Statement
In June 2006 the European Union decided upon a new Strategy for Sustainable Development.
Together with the Lisbon Strategy that was revised in 2005, there is now some coherence between
the two strategies which had been in a strong contrast before. The renewed Strategy for Sustainable
Development includes aspects of production and consumption and promotes a knowledge society.
The renewed Lisbon strategy lists eco-innovation and environmental technology as one of the
areas which are important for competitiveness. The Lisbon Strategy and the Strategy for
Sustainable Development are now seen to be mutually enforcing and complementary,
with the Strategy for Sustainable Development focussing on a long term overarching objective.
