Sustainable development
As early as 2010, at the climate negotiations of Cancún, a decision was made to establish the Technology Mechanism, which in turn led to the creation of the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN).
Green jobs are jobs in the environment sector. In Austria, every 20th job is a green job, with roughly 11% of the nation’s GDP being generated in this sector.
Already now, green jobs are a dynamic business sector in Austria. During the economic crisis, in particular, they proved to be resilient and capable of further development.
The environmental sector and/or “green jobs” are developing well. A substantial contribution to this success was made by the Federal Ministry through its strategies, measures and programmes.
