Concept of Sustainability

Principles of sustainability are popular

The basic principles of sustainability (careful use of resources, justice between the generations, fair trade) are very popular. The approval rates have risen several percentage points in comparison to 2002, lying between 82% and 88%.

However: concept of the sustainable development remains difficult to communicate

The term “sustainable development” has not become any more well-known in the last two years. Only 22% report that they are familiar with this term. The Local Agenda 21-Initiatives are also not well-known: merely 16% have heard that there is a Local Agenda 21-Process in their city or community.
