NGO letter to Barroso, van Rompuy and Schulz ahead of EU summit on innovation

October 21, 2013

The European Union faces critical economic challenges, including dwindling natural resources and increasing expenses linked to pollution and related health problems. Without further action, degradation of nature will cost the EU €1 trillion every year by 2050.

T&E and partner NGOS support research, development and application of sustainable technologies and practices and call on Mr Barroso, van Rompuy and Schulz to promote sustainable innovation at the highest political levels.
