Summary
The agenda of the new Commission displays the intention to adjust the concept of prosperity by focusing political action on sustainability and well-being. We have defined ten leverage points that can assist the pursuit of sustainable prosperity, through ensuring that ecological and social objectives hold the same weight as economic policy objectives. In doing so, the EU can lead the way in reducing the dependency of policymaking on economic growth.
