WIFO study: "The Role of Public Procurement for a Climate-neutral Way of Production and Living"

The study "The Role of Public Procurement for a Climate-neutral Way of Production and Living", commissioned by the Chambers of Labour of Lower Austria and Vienna and conducted by the Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO), comprehensively analyses and presents in detail for the first time the ecological significance of Austrian public procurement in the period from 2015 to 2020. This article presents the key findings and classifies the considerable decarbonisation potential of public procurement – as an important area of economic policy – in economic and legal terms.
