Milieu contributes to OECD Environmental Performance Review of Austria 2026

Milieu has contributed to the OECD Environmental Performance Review of Austria 2026, which has now been published by the OECD. The Review assesses Austria’s progress towards its environmental and climate objectives and identifies priorities for further action.

Milieu prepared the chapter on the circular economy, examining Austria’s efforts to increase circularity, highlighting achievements and remaining challenges, and providing recommendations to further strengthen policy and implementation in this area.

The Review notes Austria’s strong performance in areas such as waste management and recycling, while also identifying opportunities to advance resource efficiency, reduce material consumption and support the transition to a more circular economy. These findings contribute to a broader assessment covering the full range of Austria’s environmental performance.

The work was carried out in close cooperation with the OECD Secretariat, national peer reviewers from Italy and Poland, and Austria’s Bundesministerium für Land- und Forstwirtschaft, Regionen und Wasserwirtschaft.

OECD Environmental Performance Reviews provide independent, evidence-based assessments designed to help countries strengthen environmental governance and policy. The recommendations from the 2026 Review of Austria are intended to inform national policy development and support continued progress towards Austria’s environmental and climate objectives.
