Environmental protection
„Environmental protection is an opportunity and not a burden we have to carry.“ Sihler, Helmuth, Manager and Honorary professor, Universität Münster
In this module you have already learned about various causes and forms of environmental damage and pollution. These ecological problems highlight for us how important environmental protection is. The path to sustainability is still very bumpy due to various societal, political and economic interests. However, at the local, regional, national and international levels both numerous institutions, state regulators, legal guidelines and community initiatives have sprung up to protect the environment. These range from international environmental conferences to the founding of the European Environmental Agency, national environmental reports, the legal requirement for transparent energy sourcing and the nuclear freedom of Austria, to the Ecoregion Kaindorf in Styria, which applies ecological principles in detail and seeks to achieve CO2 neutrality by 2020.
