Abstract

At a high-level summit of the United Nations (UN) from 25 to 27 September 2015, the "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" was adopted under the title "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". Austria is committed to the implementation of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2030 Agenda provides an internationally binding framework in which all dimensions of sustainable development are systematically taken into account, thus ensuring a good life for all in accordance with the principle of "Leaving no one behind" - With renewable energies on the way to CO² neutrality! The use of photovoltaic systems throughout the infrastructure sector plays a major role, be it on transport routes (roads and railways), car parks, sewage treatment plants and much more.
