National Sustainability Strategy
On April 17, 2002, the Federal Government
of Germany took a decision on the National
Sustainability Strategy “Perspectives for
Germany”: every two years, the goals and
indicators mapped out in the Strategy are subjected
to a monitoring process. In 2004, the
government passed its first progress report of
the Strategy, in which it analysed its policies
of the previous two years as they related to
different aspects of sustainability and defined
further steps for sustainable development. The
Sustainability Strategy is a point of orientation
and a guideline for all governmental and
social actors as they work towards sustainable
development.
Position papers: In cooperation with experts from different
subject areas, genanet issued position papers on
the topics of renewable energy, climate protection, biodiversity,
land use, mobility, agriculture, education for sustainability
and development policy. Firstly, the position
papers evaluate the respective environmental issue from a
gender perspective. This is followed by proposals on how
gender aspects can be integrated into the position papers
of environmental associations. All papers support political
advocacy and serve to circulate information on gender
justice in different areas of the environment.
➤ The position papers – in German only – can be
accessed via the Internet.
