Resource efficiency
Using natural resources more efficiently, we can live healthier lives, save money, create jobs, boost our economy and respect the limits of the planet.
Resource efficiency makes economic sense. It is the one basic principle that underpins the entire circular economy strategy and it is fundamental to green growth. By using fewer resources, in a more efficient manner, Europe can retain its competitive edge, create green growth, sustainable jobs and better protect the environment.
Turning the Union into a resource-efficient, green and competitive low-carbon economy is one of the three objectives of the 7th Environment Action Programme. To reach this objective, we need to apply resource efficiency to every step of the product lifecycle: we must harness eco-innovation to design smarter products, produce and consume in a more intelligent fashion, recycle and reduce waste altogether.
The Commission actively supports businesses, administrations and consumers so that together, we can develop a green, resource-efficient, low-carbon circular economy and contribute to the environmental dimension of the global Sustainable Development Goals. Part of the Europe 2020 Strategy for a smart, inclusive and sustainable economy, the Roadmap to a Resource-Efficient Europe outlines ways to increase resource productivity and decouple economic growth from resource use and its environmental impact.
The Commission also aims to improve resource efficiency in more specific areas, such as in the building and food sectors, as well as in SMEs, and to turn waste into a resource.
Environmental economics is about managing the scarce resources of the environment. The Commission has financed a number of studies that show that market-based instruments are often the most efficient way to tackle an environmental problem. In order to measure societal progress beyond purely economic aspects, the Commission is also developing indicators that go beyond GDP.

资源效率
更有效地利用自然资源，我们就能过上更健康的生活，节省资金，创造就业机会，促进经济发展，并尊重地球的局限性。
资源效率具有经济意义。这是支撑整个循环经济战略的一个基本原则，也是绿色增长的基础。通过使用更少的资源，以更有效的方式，欧洲可以保持其竞争优势，创造绿色增长，可持续的就业机会，更好地保护环境。
第七届环境行动计划的三个目标之一是将欧盟建设成为一个资源高效、绿色和有竞争力的低碳经济。为了实现这一目标，我们需要将资源效率应用到产品生命周期的每一步:我们必须利用生态创新来设计更智能的产品，以更智能的方式生产和消费，循环利用和减少浪费。
委员会积极支持企业、行政部门和消费者，以共同发展绿色、资源节约型、低碳循环经济，为全球可持续发展目标的环境层面作出贡献。作为《欧洲2020年智慧、包容和可持续经济战略》的一部分，《资源节约型欧洲路线图》概述了提高资源生产率、使经济增长与资源使用及其环境影响脱钩的方法。
委员会还旨在提高建筑、食品等更具体领域的资源效率，以及中小企业的资源效率，并将废物转化为资源。
环境经济学是关于管理稀缺的环境资源。委员会资助了一些研究，这些研究表明，以市场为基础的手段往往是解决环境问题的最有效方法。为了衡量超越纯粹经济方面的社会进步，委员会还在制定超越国内生产总值的指标。
