Strategija Europa 2020 pokrenuta je 2010. godine kao inicijativa Europske unije koja bi kroz 5 zadanih ciljeva u području zapošljavanja, inovacija, obrazovanja, socijalne uključenosti i klime/energije koji se moraju postići do 2020. godine ostvarila ekonomski rast i razvoj svojih članica. Ciljevi strategije su slijedeći: 1. osigurati stopu zaposlenosti od 75% za osobe u dobi između 20 i 64 godine; 2. ulagati 3% europskog BDP-a u istraživanje i razvoj; 3. smanjiti emisije stakleničkih plinova za 20 ili čak 30% u usporedbi sa stanjem iz 1990., zadovoljiti 20% potreba za energijom iz obnovljivih izvora i povećati energetsku učinkovitost za 20%; 4. smanjiti stopu prekida školovanja na manje od 10% te osigurati da najmanje 40% osoba između 30 i 34 godine završi tercijarno obrazovanje; 5. smanjiti broj ljudi na granici siromaštva i socijalne isključenosti za 20 milijuna. Cilj ovog rada je objasniti koja je strategija prethodila Strategiji Europa 2020, prikazati ishode strategije određenih članica, te pojasniti strategiju Održiva Europa 2030.The Europe 2020 strategy was launched in 2010 as an initiative of the European Union which would achieve economic growth and development of its members through 5 set goals in the field of employment, innovation, education, social inclusion and climate/energy that must be achieved by 2020.
