Decision No 1386/2013/EU establishes the 7th Environment Action Programme (7th EAP) to guide Union environment policy through 2020 based on a long-term 2050 vision of living within ecological limits. The programme identifies nine priority objectives, including protecting natural capital, transitioning to a resource-efficient low-carbon economy, and safeguarding human health from environmental risks.
