Online Discussion Forum for Sustainable e-Europe
At the Gothenburg Summit in June 2001, EU Leaders adopted a European Union Strategy for Sustainable Development. Their decision adds a third dimension - the environment - to the twin social and economic pillars they had identified at the Lisbon European Council in March 2000 as key factors in the creation of an internationally competitive and socially inclusive European Union.
In line with this, the EU Strategy for Sustainable Development is based on the idea that in the longer run economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection must go hand in hand. This entails a process in which a wide variety of actors, including European and national policy makers, the business community and civil society, bear a shared responsibility.
