The initiative of the European Union is the Green Deal, which is similar to the UN SGD agenda for Horizon 2030. It is the common political economy plan for the Multiannual Financial Framework, 2021–2027. This project intends, at the same time, to stop climate change and to promote the people’s wellness within healthy organizations and smart cities with access to cheap and clean energy. However, there is a risk for the success of this aim: the Jevons paradox. In this paper, we make a thorough revision of the literature on the Jevons Paradox, which implies that energy efficiency leads to higher levels of consumption of energy and to a bigger hazard of climate change and environmental degradation.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.3390/en14144148open accessEuropean Union (EU)Green DealWellbeing economicsHorizon 2030Jevons ParadoxClean energy productionSustainability.Política europea de medio ambienteHistoria económica5902.08 Política del Medio Ambiente5506.06 Historia de la Economía
