    Goals / Remit

    GLOBAL 2000 (Friends of the Earth Austria) is a non-profit, non-partisan, and non-confessional federal NGO. Donations and membership fees make up 65 per cent of GLOBAL 2000’s revenue and ensure its political independence.
    GLOBAL 2000 was founded in 1982.

    Above all, GLOBAL 2000's focus is on achieving an ecological sustainable society, which provides a good life for everybody, inside the ecological boundaries of the planet. To this end, GLOBAL 2000 closely monitors the development of environmental policy in Austria and the EU and is committed to ecological fairness and a future worth living both locally and around the globe. Since 1982, GLOBAL 2000 has been working to uncover potential hazards for humans and the environment. To reach our goals, we cooperate with other environmental organizations, citizens’ initiatives, independent action groups and selected corporate entities.
    GLOBAL 2000 is effectively involved in working on the enormous challenges of environmental policy. Our commitment to foster energy-savings and the use of renewable energies, to ban the production of genetically modified food and fodder and foster ecological agriculture in Europe and beyond, and to reduce the amount of toxic chemicals in everyday life is always based on concrete alternative options and solutions.
    Since 1999 we have been the Austrian partner organisation in the global Friends of the Earth network. Together with more than 70 other independent environmental organisations we take a worldwide stand against the exploitation of nature and the environment.

    GLOBAL 2000 is committed to transparency about EU interest representation. GLOBAL 2000 believes that this register fails basic transparency standards and that it does not provide EU lobbying transparency. When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all relevant information that we consider necessary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. Our registration is based on the guidelines for transparent registration developed by the Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER-EU. Find the guidelines on http://www.act4europe.org/register or http://www.alter-eu.org
