Taking place just two days before the spring European Council which will lay the foundation for EU strategy in the coming decade, Janez Potočnik, European commissioner for the environment, delivered The 2010 Jean Jacques Rousseau Lecture and used the occasion to make a compelling call to make resource efficiency one of its cornerstones. His speech on Resource Efficiency as a Driver of Sustainable Growth and Jobs made the case for a new environmental contract and argued for the development of new indicators to measure progress and performance on resource efficiency.
