The threats to our health caused by the way we choose to live - smoking for example - are also targeted in the renewed strategy as is our general wellbeing and mental health.
Prenovljena strategija obravnava tudi grožnje našemu zdravju – katerih vzrok je način našega življenja, na primer, kajenje – in hkrati splošno dobro počutje ter duševno zdravje.
Improving the management of our natural resources is also vital.
Ključnega pomena je tudi izboljšanje upravljanja naših naravnih virov.
New rural development programmes, a reformed fisheries policy, frameworks for organic farming and animal welfare, and an emphasis on sustainable forest management are all being harnessed in the fight to protect the world around us.
Novi programi razvoja podeželja, obnovljena ribiška politika, okvir za ekološko kmetovanje in dobro počutje živali ter poudarek na trajnostnem upravljanju gozdov so vsi skupaj del boja za zaščito sveta, v katerem živimo.
How is the EU going to achieve its goals?
Kako namerava EU izpolniti te cilje?
Educating and training: The Commission recognises the importance of education for all ages and levels, throughout the EU.
Izobraževanje in usposabljanje: Komisija se zaveda pomembnosti izobraževanja v vseh starostnih obdobjih in na vseh ravneh v vsej EU.
In 2006, the European Parliament and Council adopted a lifelong learning programme to run 2007 – 2013.
Leta 2006 sta Evropski parlament in Svet sprejela program vseživljenjskega učenja za obdobje 2007–2013.
This is part of an overall aim to increase the skills needed to create a modern Europe and to give everyone the chance to play an active role in society.
To je del splošnega cilja za razširjanje znanj, potrebnih za oblikovanje moderne Evrope, ter dajanje možnosti vsem, da igrajo aktivno vlogo v družbi.
Research and development: Universities, research institutes and private companies all have a role to play in finding away to ensure sustainable economic growth and environmental protection reinforce each other.
Raziskave in razvoj: univerze, raziskovalni inštituti in zasebna podjetja igrajo vsak svojo vlogo pri iskanju načinov za zagotovitev medsebojne krepitve trajnostne gospodarske rasti in varstva okolja.
To encourage the most original thinkers to produce results, the Commission has set aside over 50bn for the 2007-13 period in grants under a pan-European funding programme for research called the Seventh Framework Programme.
Da bi najbolj izvirne mislece spodbudila k raziskavam, je Komisija za obdobje 2007–2013 namenila 50 milijard EUR v obliki štipendij v okviru vseevropskega programa za financiranje raziskav oziroma 7. okvirnega programa.
Hopefully this will open the way for new discoveries that can help Europe answer its pressing social, environmental and economic challenges.
Upamo, da bo to odprlo poti za nova odkritja, ki lahko pomagajo Evropi, da se odzove na preteče družbene, okoljske in gospodarske izzive.
Using the economy to bring about change: The EU wants to see prosperity and growth benefiting everyone without causing more damage to the world in which we live.
Z gospodarstvom do sprememb: želja EU je, da bi napredek in rast prinesla koristi vsem, ne da bi pri tem povzročila še več škode svetu, v katerem živimo.
Tax incentives for ‘clean’ practice and changing what is subsidised all help to put money where it will have the best effect.
Davčne spodbude za „čisto“ prakso in spremembe na področju subvencioniranja pomagajo vložiti denar tja, kjer bo njegov učinek največji.
A shift in taxation from labour to environmental issues can also change the public’s behaviour.
Odnos javnosti lahko spremeni tudi premik z obdavčitve dela na okoljska vprašanja.
For example, the Swedish government in 2001 increased taxes on diesel, heating oil and electricity and lowered income taxes and social security contributions.
Na primer, švedska vlada je leta 2001 zvišala davke na dizelsko gorivo, kurilno olje in elektriko ter znižala davek na dohodek in prispevke za socialno varnost.
As a result, Sweden has been able to lower its greenhouse gas emissions more quickly than anticipated.
Zato je lahko emisije toplogrednih plinov zmanjšala veliko hitreje, kot je bilo pričakovano.
And in Denmark, a tax on extremely toxic nickel-cadmium batteries caused customers to switch to less toxic alternatives.
Na Danskem je davek na zelo strupene akumulatorje, ki vsebujejo nikelj in kadmij, spodbudil potrošnike, da so začeli uporabljati manj strupene akumulatorje.
Communicating: Sustainable development is at the heart of the EU’s actions and, in order to maximise success, the EU is emphasising the importance of communication.
Komuniciranje: trajnostni razvoj je v osrčju prizadevanj EU. Da bi čim bolj povečala svoj uspeh, EU poudarja pomembnost komuniciranja.
People, at all levels, need to get together to share their experience of which policies work and which don’t.
Ljudje na vseh ravneh morajo stopiti skupaj, da bi izmenjali svoje izkušnje o tem, katere politike so učinkovite in katere ne.
Businesses need to talk with their local authorities, national governments with the EU, and regional governments with their citizens.
Podjetja se morajo posvetovati z lokalnimi organi, nacionalne vlade z EU, regionalne vlade pa s svojimi državljani.
Taxes need to be explained, the logic behind measures from local recycling projects to spending on third world poverty needs to be understood by everyone.
Davke je treba pojasniti, logiko ukrepov, ki segajo od lokalnih projektov na področju recikliranja do stroškov za boj proti revščini v tretjem svetu, morajo razumeti prav vsi.
Staying on track: Words must be put into action.
Ostati na pravi poti: od besed je treba preiti k dejanjem.
Starting in 2007 the Commission will submit a progress report every two years, covering all that has been done throughout the EU to promote sustainable development.
Od leta 2007 bo Komisija vsaki dve leti predložila poročilo o napredku, ki bo zajemalo vse, kar je bilo v EU storjenega na področju spodbujanja trajnostnega razvoja.
Other tactics include: ensuring that policy makers from different EU nations learn from each other; the sharing of information, and the development of a set of indicators to show precisely what is working and what is not.
Druge taktike vključujejo naslednje: oblikovalci politiki z različnih držav EU se učijo eden od drugega; izmenjujejo informacije in razvijajo nize kazalcev, ki jasno kažejo, kaj deluje in kaj ne.
These goals are not just pie in the sky.
Ti cilji niso zgolj prazne obljube.
There is a clear awareness that now is the time to put the measures, outlined in this booklet, into practice.
Obstaja jasna zavest o tem, da je prišel čas za uresničitev ukrepov, predstavljenih v tej brošuri.
To do so, a two-pronged attack is necessary and this is where the notion of active citizenship comes in.
Da bi to dosegli, se je treba zadeve lotiti z dveh koncev, tu pa nastopi koncept aktivnega državljanstva.
Legal measures, tax incentives, polluter pays - all these elements put us on the right track to sustainable development.
Pravni ukrepi, davčne spodbude, denarne kazni za onesnaževalce – vsi ti elementi nas usmerjajo na pravo pot, ki pelje k trajnostnemu razvoju.
But if we don’t do our part to meet the challenges facing us in this generation, future generations will inherit a world that is impoverished.
Vendar če se tudi sami ne spoprimemo z izzivi, s katerimi se soočamo v tej generaciji, bodo prihodnje generacije podedovale obubožan svet.
The purpose of this booklet is to let you know what is being done by the EU and what can be done by individuals.
Namen te brošure je seznaniti vas z vsem, kar trenutno dela EU, in predlagati, kaj lahko storite sami.
We will outline the measures taken at EU level and offer simple, practical ideas that can be applied on a day-to-day basis by you.
Predstavili bomo ukrepe, sprejete naravni EU, ter ponudili preproste, praktične zamisli, ki jih lahko sami udejanjate vsak dan.
You and the EU together can make sustainable development a reality.
Skupaj z EU lahko poskrbite, da trajnostni razvoj postane resničnost.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CLIMATE CHANGE
TRAJNOSTNI RAZVOJ PODNEBNE SPREMEMBE
Limiting the damage
Omejevanje škode
Climate change is no longer a distant threat, it’s here now and it’s speeding up.
Podnebne spremembe niso več oddaljena grožnja. So tukaj in so čedalje hitrejše.
Around the world, many areas are already struggling to cope with rising temperatures.
Številna območja po vsem svetu se že soočajo z naraščajočimi temperaturami.
So far, we’re talking about a global average of 0.76°C compared with the beginning of the industrial revolution.
Zaenkrat govorimo o globalnem povprečju zvišanja za 0,76 °C v primerjavi s temperaturami ob začetku industrijske revolucije.
But the trend looks set to continue and its impact to get worse.
Vendar se zdi, da se bo ta trend nadaljeval in da bo njegov vpliv čedalje hujši.
Europeans are feeling the effects of global warming: droughts, floods, heat waves and forest fires are all becoming more and more frequent.
Evropejci že čutijo posledice globalnega segrevanja: suše, poplave, vročinski valovi in gozdni požari so čedalje pogostejši.
This is just a taste of what’s in store.
To je samo vzorec tistega, kar nas še čaka.
Climatologists at the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) warn us of a further rise of as much as 4°C between 1990 and 2100.
Klimatologi iz Medvladne skupine ZN za podnebne spremembe (IPCC) nas opozarjajo, da bo v obdobju med letoma 1990 in 2100 prišlo do nadaljnjega povišanja temperature za kar 4 °C.
What we’re seeing now is largely the result of billions of tonnes of CO2 released into the atmosphere each day from burning coal, oil and natural gas.
, ki se vsak dan izpušča v ozračje pri izgore-
But we’re sitting on a time bomb.
Vendar sedimo na tempirani bombi.
Not only is our environment going to suffer, but our economy and society too.
Ne samo, da bo zaradi tega trpelo naše okolje, trpela bosta tudi gospodarstvo in družba.
CLIMATE CHANGE
PODNEBNE SPREMEMBE
Situation on the ground
Stanje na terenu
Long considered hypothetical, the effects of climate change are now unmistakable.
Vplivi podnebnih sprememb, ki so dolgo časa veljali za hipotetične, so zdaj postali očitni.
From cooler winters to hotter summers, our seasons are increasingly marked by extremes in weather.
Za naše letne čase so s hladnejšimi zimami in bolj vročimi poletji postale značilne skrajne vremenske razmere.
Eleven of the world’s twelve warmest years on record occurred between 1995 and 2006.
Enajst izmed dvanajstih najtoplejših let na svetu smo doživeli med letoma 1995 in 2006.
And while this was welcome for some, it was devastating for many.
Medtem ko je to nekaterim ustrezalo, je bilo za druge pogubno.
The scorching heat wave that hit Europe in the summer of 2003 claimed 35,000 lives, approximately half from France.
Žgoč vročinski val, ki je prizadel Evropo poleti leta 2003, je zahteval 35 000 življenj, približno polovico od tega v Franciji.
Many also died in Germany, Spain and Italy.
Veliko ljudi je umrlo tudi v Nemčiji, Španiji in Italiji.
Temperatures in the UK exceeded 38°C for the first time ever recorded.
Temperature v Združenem kraljestvu so prvič v zgodovini merjenja presegle 38 °C.
These heat waves are projected to increase in both frequency and intensity in the years to come.
Ti vročinski valovi bodo v prihodnjih letih predvidoma čedalje pogostejši in čedalje hujši.
But if Europe is already struggling to cope now, what will it be like then?
Toda, če Evropa temu že zdaj ni kos, kako bo takrat?
In the twentieth century, the temperature in Europe increased by 0.95°C compared with the global average of 0.76°C.
V dvajsetem stoletju se je temperatura v Evropi povečala za 0,95 °C v primerjavi z globalnim povprečjem 0,76 °C.
It’s not just hotter and colder seasons that we’re experiencing, but wetter and drier ones too.
Ne gre samo za bolj vroče ali hladnejše letne čase, temveč tudi za bolj vlažne in bolj suhe.
A contrasting picture is forming in Europe, with the north becoming wetter (10-40% since 1900) and the south becoming drier (up to 20% since 1900).
Evropa kaže nasprotujočo si podobo, v kateri sever postaja bolj vlažen (za 10–40 % od leta 1900), jug pa bolj suh (za do 20 % od leta 1900).
The resulting floods on on eh and and droughts on the other are having a considerable impact on agriculture and water sources.
Posledične poplave na eni strani in suše na drugi močno vplivajo na kmetijstvo in vodne vire.
If current trends continue, this can only get worse.
Če se bo ta trend nadaljeval, se lahko vse skupaj samo še poslabša.
The economy is also affected - extreme weather conditions are blamed for 79% of economic loss due to catastrophes.
Prizadeto je tudi gospodarstvo – skrajne vremenske razmere so krive za 79 % gospodarske izgube zaradi katastrof.
On average there were twice as many incidents of disastrous weather conditions in the 1990s than in the 1980s.
V povprečju je bilo v 90. letih dvakrat več pojavov katastrofalnih vremenskih razmer kot v 80. letih.
Patterns are emerging in the ecosystem too.
Te tendence se kažejo tudi v ekosistemu.
Certain plant species are moving northward now that the climate is warmer, increasing diversity in some areas and lowering it in others.
Nekatere rastlinske vrste se zaradi čedalje toplejšega podnebja premikajo proti severu, s čimer na določenih območjih povečujejo raznovrstnost, na drugih pa jo manjšajo.
Certain insects are also taking flight, and ticks, for example, are being found further north than ever before.
Prav tako se umika tudi mrčes: tako je, na primer, klope mogoče najti daleč na severu, kjer jih prej ni bilo.
The consequences of this appear to be greater tick-borne diseases in the Baltic countries and in central European countries.
Posledica tega je razširjenost bolezni, ki jih prenašajo klopi, in sicer v baltskih in srednjeevropskih državah.

But not so many people know about Europe’s own retreating glaciers.
S tako razširjenim vplivom se bomo lahko spopadli samo z nujnimi ukrepi.
With such widespread impact, only urgent action will do. “Climate change is a global problem that needs global solutions, not in ten or twenty years’ time but right now,” European Commission President Barroso said, during a trip to Greenland to see the effects of global warming first hand.
„Podnebne spremembe so globalni problem, ki potrebuje globalno rešitev, vendar ne čez deset ali dvajset let, temveč takoj,“ je dejal predsednik Evropske komisije Barroso med potovanjem po Grenlandiji, kjer si je na lastne oči ogledal učinke globalnega segrevanja.
Europe is already affected but those who will suffer the most are the developing countries, where the climate is already warmer and livelihoods are largely dependent on agriculture.
Evropo so podnebne spremembe že prizadele, vendar bodo najtežje izgube doživele države v razvoju, kjer je podnebje že toplejše, življenje pa v veliki meri odvisno od kmetijstva.
Today our main energy sources are finite reserves of fossil fuels which take millions years to replenish.
Naš glavni vir energije danes predstavljajo omejene rezerve fosilnih goriv, ki za obnovitev potrebujejo več milijonov let.
There is a danger that at current consumption levels these reserves will run dry.
Obstaja nevarnost, da se bodo rezerve pri trenutnih stopnjah porabe do kraja izčrpale.
What’s more, the International Energy Agency forecasts a 60% rise in energy needs between 2000 and 2030.
Poleg tega Mednarodna agencija za energijo napoveduje 60-odstotno rast potreb po energiji med letoma 2000 in 2030.
With no one miracle energy source, the only solution lies in increasing efficiency and finding alternatives, while making full use of renewable sources.
Od sredine 90. let, ko je IPCC prvič opredelila jasno razmerje med človekovo aktivnostjo in podnebnimi spremembami, je EU okrepila svoja prizadevanja za spoprijem z grožnjo, ki jo pomenijo podnebne spremembe.
Since the mid-1990s, when the IPCC first established a clear relationship between human activity and climate change, the EU has been intensifying its efforts to tackle the threat posed by climate change. Under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol signed by 140 countries, the EU-15 as a whole committed to cutting its greenhouse gas emissions by 8%, from 1990 levels, by 2012.
20-odstotno zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov v EU do leta 2020 ter 30-odstotno zmanjšanje, če se doseže mednarodni sporazum; 20-odstotno izboljšanje energetske učinkovitosti do leta 2020; 20-odstotno povečanje deleža obnovljive energije do leta 2020; 10-odstotno povečanje ravni biogoriv v prometu do leta 2020.
Most recently, at the European Council on 9 March 2007, leaders agreed on a comprehensive package of measures, establishing a new integrated climate change and energy policy.
Hiter pregled glavnih virov emisij toplogrednih plinov v EU kaže, da so zanje najbolj odgovorni energetski, industrijski in prometni sektorji, ki jim tesno sledijo gospodinjstva in kmetijstvo.

To identify and develop targeted means of mitigation, the EU set up a European Climate Change Programme in 2000.
Največji dosežek programa je sistem trgovanja z emisijami toplogrednih plinov, ki je bil uveden leta 2005. To je največji večdržavni, večsektorski sistem trgovanja z emisijami na svetu.
Its major achievement has been the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme which began in 2005.
2 tokola iz leta 1997, in sicer s sodelovanjem med državo, ki ustvarja prekomerne količine CO
This is the largest multicountry, multi-sector emissions trading scheme in the world.

The over producer then pays for the right to use the spare capacity of the other country concerned: in the end, both emit no more than the amount agreed on.
2 uporabo proste zmogljivosti druge zadevne države: na koncu sku- pni izpust obeh držav ni večji od dogovorjene količine.
A set of measures under the Ecodesign Directive is being developed to ensure that cost-effective improvements are made to the most energy-hungry products.
V okviru Direktive o okoljsko primerni zasnovi je bil oblikovan niz ukrepov, da bi se zagotovile stroškovno učinkovite izboljšave proizvodov, ki porabijo največ energije.
Minimum energy efficiency requirements will be combined with clearer labelling for these products.
Minimalne zahteve za energetsko učinkovitost bodo združene z bolj jasnim označevanjem teh proizvodov.
It is estimated that improvements to central heating boilers and water heaters alone could lead to 3% less overall emissions by 2020 (compared with 2004).
Po predvidevanjih lahko že samo izboljšave kotlov peči za centralno ogrevanje in vodnih grelnikov do leta 2020 ustvarijo 3-odstotno zmanjšanje celotnih emisij (v primerjavi z letom 2004).
Through the Energy Taxation Directive, the EU will seek to discourage pollutant behaviour and reward positive behaviour in terms of energy savings and environmentally friendly activities.
EU bo z Direktivo o obdavčitvi energije poskusila ustaviti onesnaževanje in nagraditi pozitiven odnos, ki se kaže kot varčevanje z energijo in okolju prijazne aktivnosti.
Did you know…
Ali ste vedeli …
Recycling aluminium requires ten times less energy than producing it from scratch.
Recikliranje aluminija zahteva desetkrat manj energije kot proizvodnja aluminija od začetka.
Transport is another sector with great potential for mitigating climate change and a number of legislative proposals are being examined.
Te bodo zahvaljujoč 7. okvirnemu programu EU za raziskave za obdobje 2007–2013 imele korist od obsežnih naložb.
These include: adding aviation to the greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme; increasing the proportion of biofuels used in transport; decreasing the carbon intensity of fuel, and restoring a balance between different modes of transport.
Proizvodi, stavbe in storitve bodo energetsko bolj učinkoviti, tehnologije fosilnih goriv pa bolj čiste.
The EU is also working in partnership with key players to reverse the current trend towards an increase in energy needs by identifying and eradicating the main forms of energy waste: new energy technologies are to be developed to increase the efficiency with which energy is generated and consumed.
Obnovljiva energija se prav tako kaže kot možnost nadaljnjega povečanja porabe trajnostnih energetskih virov. Cilj EU je z energijo vode, sončno energijo, biogorivi, biomaso in geotermalno energijo zagotoviti, da do leta 2020 proizvede 20 % svoje celotne energetske mešanice iz obnovljivih virov energije.
They will benefit from massive investment thanks to the EU’s Seventh Research Framework Programme for 2007-2013.
V tej mešanici so na visokem mestu prav biogoriva, ki naj bi do leta 2020 nadomestila 10 % potreb po bencinu in dizelskem gorivu v EU.
Products, buildings and services will all be made more energy efficient and fossil fuel technologies made cleaner.
Vodilna pri uporabi biogoriv v Evropi je trenutno Švedska – z 2,3 %. Sledijo ji Nemčija, Češka republika in Francija.
While each renewable source has its pros and cons, investment in technology will ensure that the EU harnesses the potential of renewables as fossil fuel-replacing sources.
Medtem ko ima vsak obnovljivi vir svoje pozitivne in negativne strani, bodo naložbe v tehnologijo omogočile EU, da izkoristi potencial obnovljivih virov energije kot nadomestnih virov za fosilna goriva.
Another alternative source is biomass and this is where the EU’s Biomass Action Plan comes in.
Drugi vir je biomasa, kjer nastopi Akcijski načrt EU za biomaso.
Biomass includes anything that is solid and organic like wood and wood waste, straw, crop harvest residues, vegetal and animal waste.
Biomasa vključuje vse, kar je trdno in organsko, kot so les in lesni odpadki, slama, ostanki pridelkov, rastlinski in živalski odpadki.
This substitutes more traditional sources like coal, petrol and gas, which are limited and polluting.
To nadomešča bolj tradicionalne vire, kot so premog, bencin in plin, ki so omejeni in onesnažujejo okolje.
Measured in terms of ‘tons of oil equivalent’ (toe), the EU estimates the action plan will help to increase biomass use to 150 million to e in 2010.
Na podlagi merjenj v „tonah ekvivalenta nafte“ (toe) EU ocenjuje, da bo akcijski načrt pomagal k povečanju uporabe biomase do 150 milijonov toe v letu 2010.
The New Energy Policy for Europe Action Plan, adopted by the European Council in March 2007, has as one of its main aims the provision of secure energy supplies.
Eden izmed ciljev nove energetske politike za Evropski akcijski načrt, ki jo je marca 2007 sprejel Evropski svet, je zagotovitev varne oskrbe z energijo.
But while the EU is principally concerned with its own member countries, it is not working alone.
A čeprav se EU v glavnem ukvarja s svojimi državami članicami, v teh prizadevanjih ni sama.
Several partnerships with industrialised and developing nations exist.
Obstaja nekaj partnerstev z industrializiranimi državami in državami v razvoju.
It hopes to ensure a high level of environmental protection and nuclear safety with this country that accounts for 7% of world CO2 emissions.
Pri tem upa, da bo v sodelovanju sto državo, ki ustvarja 7 % svetovnih emisij CO
Through the Kyoto Protocol’s flexibility mechanism, efforts are being made to modernise Russia’s energy sector and in doing so to promote energy efficiency and environmentally friendly technologies.
S pomo- čjo mehanizma prilagodljivosti iz Kjotskega protokola potekajo prizadevanja za posodobitev energetskega sektorja Rusije in uveljavljanje energetske učinkovitosti in okolju prijaznih tehnologij.
With the USA, an energy saving programme, Energy Star, is in place for office equipment.
ZDA so na področju pisarniške opreme oblikovale program varčevanja z energijo Energy Star.
Computers, copiers, printers and computer monitors all have to meet demanding energy efficiency criteria.
Računalniki, kopirni stroji, tiskalniki in računalniški zasloni morajo izpolnjevati zahtevna merila za energetsko učinkovitost.
