人口和经济活动的增长对自然资本的恶化有直接影响，特别是当涉及到温室气体排放的增加时。然而，通过增强可持续消费和生产模式的能力，改善是可能的。通过《2030年可持续发展议程》，联合国呼吁将经济发展、环境可持续性和社会包容结合起来。该议程还提供了跟踪进展所需的工具，因为每个可持续发展目标都有一套旨在评估可持续性各个方面的指标。能源生产力只是众多生产力中的一种，但它仍然很特别，因为它反映了可持续的消费行为和生产模式。欧盟委员会制定的2030年气候目标计划通过增加温室气体排放目标的重要性，巩固并为2030年可持续发展议程的目标做出贡献。本研究的目的是研究欧盟能源生产率、温室气体排放、生物废物回收和名义GDP之间的关系，以突出向可持续消费行为和生产模式顺利过渡的关键。结果表明，循环利用、绿色经济和能源生产率是这一转变的载体。
The growth in population and economic activities has direct implications on the deterioration of the natural capital, especially when referring to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. However, improvement is possible by empowering sustainable consumption and production patterns. Through the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the United Nations call for a mix of economic development, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion. The agenda also provides the instruments needed to track progress, as each Sustainable Development Goal has a set of indicators meant to assess various dimensions of sustainability. Energy productivity is only one of many, but still special because it reflects sustainable consumption behaviors and production patterns. The 2030 Climate Target Plan elaborated by the European Commission consolidates and brings its contribution to the aims of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by adding weight to the importance of the greenhouse gas emissions target. The objective of this research was to study the relationship between energy productivity, greenhouse gas emissions, biowaste recycling and nominal GDP in the EU in order to highlight the key of a smooth transition towards sustainable consumption behaviors and production patterns. The results show that recycling, greening the economy and energy productivity are the vectors of this transition.
