Growing demand for resources 'threatens EU economy'
By Mark Kinver

The growing global demand for natural resources risks undermining Europe's economy, a report has warned.

The outlook, produced by the European Environment Agency, said the increases were driven by a need to satisfy changes in global consumption patterns.

The agency said there were no "quick fixes" but called on businesses, individuals and policymakers to work together to become more efficient.

It added that Europe had made progress on emissions, but more had to be done.
