Germany: National Sustainability Strategy

This is the aim of the Federal Government's current "High-Tech Strategy": By the year 2020, Germany is to become a country with the most renowned institutions of higher education and with the best trained young people; a country where the technologies of the future are developed and the spirit of invention guarantees health and safety. Progress in the field of know-how, the early evaluation of acquired knowledge and economic success are closely linked with the ethical aspects of protecting human life and with questions of consumer safety or the preservation of our natural environment.
