The Renewed EU Sustainable Development Strategy was adopted by the European Council in June 2006. It is an overarching strategy for all EU policies which sets out how we can meet the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The Sustainable Development Strategy deals in an integrated way with economic, environmental and social issues and lists the following seven key challenges:

• Climate change and clean energy
• Sustainable transport
• Sustainable consumption and production
• Conservation and management of natural resources
• Public health
• Social inclusion, demography and migration
• Global poverty
