The strategy is focused on five ambitious goals in the areas of employment, innovation, education, poverty reduction and climate/energy To ensure that the Europe 2020 strategy delivers, a strong and effective system of economic governance has been set up to coordinate policy actions between the EU and national levels (European semester, annual growth survey)
