The European Commission has proposed a new strategy for the sustainable use of natural resources. The aim of the strategy is to reduce resource use and the associated 
environmental impacts thereof, particularly in the light of an ever expanding global economy.    
   
Key targets of the strategy include improving knowledge and encouraging collaboration between environmental interests and those of particular groups 
such as transport and industry. Collaboration at regional, national and international levels is anticipated.
