Participation and Sustainable Development in Europe

The Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Regions and Tourism (BMLRT) is responsible for key quality-of-life issues and for questions which are essential in creating a liveable future for the children.

The OEGUT is an independent non-profit organisation which has been focusing on sustainability in the economy and society for more than 30 years. As a platform for this development, the OEGUT has brought together more than 100 organisations and institutions from economic backgrounds (organisations in the areas of waste management, finance, energy providers etc., interest groups such as the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO) and Trade Unions), administrative bodies, and environmental groups (the largest environmental NGOs etc.).
