Austria's Commitment to the 2030 Agenda

Guided by the BKMC's mission to foster leadership for the Sustainable Development Goals, we have been closely collaborating with the Austrian Federal Chancellery since 2018 to advance the implementation of the SDGs in and by Austria. On the margins of the UN High-Level Political Forum 2023, we are very proud to launch the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens publication “Austria’s Commitment to the 2030 Agenda”. The publication covers national, European, and global efforts to implement the SDGs.  Against the backdrop of multiple crises, it is now more important than ever to find global solutions based on cooperation, partnership, and sustainability. Dive into our report and check out milestone activities, good practice examples, and initiatives of SDG implementation in Austria from 2019 to 2023.

“New methods are needed that make it possible <strong>to</strong> capture<br />

<strong>the</strong> actual “costs” of services, products, but also of economic<br />

policy decisions. A conventional cost-benefit calculation paints<br />

a very simplified picture of <strong>the</strong> costs for a society, because<br />

up <strong>to</strong> now all effects have been calculated in monetary units.<br />

However, environmental damage or species extinction cannot<br />

be measured entirely in monetary terms - for sustainable economic<br />

activity, we <strong>the</strong>refore need an integrated perspective.”<br />

Es gibt wenige wirksame<br />

Klimaschutzmaßnahmen, die<br />

so rasch und günstig umsetzbar<br />

sind. Let‘s go for it!<br />

Und wie macht ihr das bei<br />

dem CO2 Auss<strong>to</strong>ß von<br />

Vulkanen.<br />

Gar nicht. Bei Klimaschutzmaßnahmen geht es<br />

um die von Menschen verursachte Klimagase.<br />
