Organised on occasion of the Austrian
Presidency of the Council of the European Union this conference
reflected recent developments and synergies between economic
efficiency, environment and employment. It was set up to identify framework
conditions that promote or inhibit these synergies, to share experiences
of corresponding projects and to disseminate relevant information
about success and failures to relevant stakeholders.
Objectives
- To promote synergism between the increased efficiency
of economic activities and resource use, environmental improvement,
and the creation of more and better jobs in globalized production
and consumption systems
- To identify framework conditions, including tax/benefit
systems, subsidies and investment incentives for innovation,
research and work and employment practices, that promote or
inhibit these synergies.
- To share experiences of local, regional and national
projects in Europe and beyond that promote and support eco-efficiency,
employment for sustainable development and broader concepts
of work and life.
- To disseminate relevant information about success
and failures as well as new visions and approaches to policymakers,
businesses, local authorities, NGOs and other social actors.
