Recital 9
(9) The 8th EAP should accelerate the transition to a regenerativsustainable economy that gives back to the planet more than it takes. A regenerativsustainable growth model recognises that the wellbeing and prosperity of our societies depend on a stable climate, a healthy environment and thriving ecosystems, which provide a safe operating space for our economies. As the global population and the demand for natural resources continues to grow, economic activity should develop in a sustainable way that does no harm but, on the contrary, reverses climate change and environmental degradation, minimises pollution and results in maintaining and enriching natural capital, therefore ensuring the abundance of renewable and non-renewable resources. Through continuous innovation, adaptation to new challenges and co-creation, the regenerativsustainable economy strengthens resilience and protects present and future generations’ wellbeing.
