EU 2020 Goals SMART, SUSTAINABLE AND INCLUSIVE GROWTH The Europe 2020 strategy is about delivering growth that is: smart, through more effective investments in education, research and innovation; sustainable, thanks to a decisive move towards a low-carbon economy; and inclusive, with a strong emphasis on job creation and poverty reduction. The strategy is focused on five ambitious goals in the areas of employment, innovation, education, poverty reduction and climate/energy. smartsustainableinclusive The 5 targets for the EU in 2020: 1. Employment – 75% of the year-olds to be employed 2. R&D / innovation – 3% of the EU's GDP (public and private combined) to be invested in R&D/innovation 3. Climate change / energy – greenhouse gas emissions 20% (or even 30%, if the conditions are right)lower than 1990 – 20% of energy from renewables – 20% increase in energy efficiency 4. Education – Reducing school drop-out rates below 10% – at least 40% of 30-34–year-olds completing third level education 5. Poverty / social exclusion – at least 20 million fewer people in or at risk of poverty and social exclusion

EU 2020 Goals Features of the targets They give an overall view of where the EU should be on key parameters by They are translated into national targets [see link] so that each Member State can check its own progress towards these goals.into national targets They do not imply burden-sharing – they are common goals, to be pursued through a mix of national and EU action. They are interrelated and mutually reinforcing: – educational improvements help employability and reduce poverty – more R&D/innovation in the economy, combined with more efficient resources, makes us more competitive and creates jobs – investing in cleaner technologies combats climate change while creating new business/job opportunities.

EU Flagships supporting Flagship initiatives Europe has identified new engines to boost growth and jobs. These areas are addressed by 7 flagship initiatives. Within each initiative, both the EU and national authorities have to coordinate their efforts so they are mutually reinforcing. Most of these initiatives have been presented by the Commission in Smart growth Digital agenda for Europe Innovation Union Youth on the move Sustainable growth Resource efficient Europe An industrial policy for the globalisation era Inclusive growth An agenda for new skills and jobs European platform against poverty
