This project supported the European Environment Agency (EEA) in reviewing the EU's evolving competitiveness agenda through the lens of long-term sustainability transitions. The project explored how the EU’s competitiveness discourse engages with broader sustainability concerns, particularly in relation to industry transformation, circular economy and bioeconomy. It considers potential trade-offs between competitiveness and non-climate environmental goals such as biodiversity, ecosystems, and resource use. Based on this assessment, the project identified options for how sustainability could be anchored more firmly in, and aligned with, the EU competitiveness agenda.
