CAAG received the Hungarian Prize NGO of the Year 2006. The main fields of activities of the CAAG are the following: greening the state budget and taxation, sustainable transport, sustainable energy policy, and sustainable urban development. In 1991 CAAG prepared its first study on green budget reform with concrete proposals for the Hungarian government. Since that time CAAG each year published studies on this topic. CAAG’s activities include public awareness raising, consulting, research, publishing and advocacy at the local and national levels.
