Sustainable Development Cross-cutting policiesCross-cutting policiesTurning the dream into realityCHAPTER8The EU is aiming at sustainable economic growth, withmore and better jobs and greater social cohesion, but insuch a way that protects the world around us for futuregenerations.Clamping down on discrimination, protecting natural resources,addressing immigration and global poverty, producinggoods in an environmentally friendly way - laws arebeing passed and programmes developed to make eachgoal within the EU’s sustainable development strategypossible.But cutting across the separate areas discussed in thisbooklet are the four ways used to make the ideals concrete:education, research, communication to motivate people andmake programmes run as efficiently as possible, and lettingthe polluter pay. Changing the way people buy and produceis essential and one way to encourage a move towards moreenvironmentally friendly habits is through tax incentives.Reflecting the real price a product has on the environmentwill help consumers make the right choices.© Corbis069
