This week’s European summit was able to take the opportunity to discuss the often postponed “other side” of the euro crisis – growth and the lack thereof. While there has been an intense focus on debt and the problems it is causing – and rightly so – there has been precious little chance to discuss the impact of the crisis on society.

There are many strands of that impact, but perhaps the most obvious is unemployment and particularly unemployment amongst young people.

A new impetus is vitally needed to fill the many gaps between words and deeds at EU level. The EU needs an enhanced strategic vision to guarantee the provision of competitive, secure and sustainable energy in the long run.

Go sustainable. Be responsible!
“We may need short term decisions to overcome the crisis, but we want our leaders to keep the long-term perspectives of sustainability!
It is cheaper to prevent and create rather than repair, which often is much more complicated!”
say Staffan Nilsson and Hans-Joachim Wilms who invite you to to take the road with us to the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development called “Rio+20″
