Funding in Upper Austria

The Federal Government and the Länder use subsidies as a control tool to promote certain activities, techniques or products. These subsidies, subsidies and subsidies can also promote environmental counterproductive developments and exacerbate the problem of external environmental costs. For the Province of Upper Austria, the Federal Environment Agency has analysed a selection of such subsidies with regard to their impact on the environment. The analysis focuses on funding in the areas of transport/mobility, construction/housing, tourism and agriculture. The results show that the inclusion of environmental and sustainability aspects in subsidy policies is important. The report also proposes solutions to how funding in the selected areas can reduce negative environmental effects.
