Resource Use in Austria - Report 2015

Natural resources form the basis of our quality of life. Ensuring that we have a future-oriented domestic economy and can preserve and protect the basis of life in an Austria worth living in depends upon sustainable, efficient and responsible use of our natural resources.

The BMLFUW initiatives for a modern environmental and resource use strategy, such as the Resource Efficiency Action Plan, RESET 2020 – Resources.Efficiency.Technologies or Growth in Transition Initiative, with its discourse about a sustainable economic and social system, we make a significant contribution towards this goal.

In order to apply targeted measures, high quality and comprehensive data as well as good analytical research are essential. The resource use reports provide not only usable data but also trends and factors influencing domestic resource use, and also reveal those areas in which action is required. The report 2015 is the second of the series Resource Use in Austria.

This year’s report focuses on biomass as a key area of concern, which, besides hydro power, covers a major share of the energy requirements through renewable energies. We will only be able to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions, take a real step closer to achieving Austria’s climate targets and implement a consistently sustainable resource use strategy if we make efficient use of renewable raw materials.
