Umweltschutzorganisation GLOBAL 2000 / Friends of the Earth Austria

Since 1982, GLOBAL 2000 has been working on controversial social themes to uncover potential hazards for humans and the environment. GLOBAL 2000 closely monitors the development of environmental policy in Austria and is committed to ecological fairness and a future worth living both locally and around the globe. Helping victims of ecological disasters is part of our work.

GLOBAL 2000 is a member of Friends of the Earth, the largest international network of environmental organizations. To reach our goals, we cooperate with other environmental organizations, citizens’ initiatives, independent action groups and selected corporate entities.

GLOBAL 2000 acts on well-established scientific findings and by using all democratic means available. We are actively opposed to each and every restriction of democratic freedom, but always in a non-violent and solution-oriented way. GLOBAL 2000 is independent, politically inconvenient and critical of parties, the government and the economy. This guarantees our credibility.

GLOBAL 2000 follows its goals passionately, persistently and proficiently. Environmental protection does not mean fighting the symptoms, but revealing the causes and conditions of global ecological destruction and searching for viable solutions with all possible commitment.
