The Austrian Eco-label for Schools and Teacher Training Colleges (UZ 301)

HTL Mödling is the largest school in Austria, has been awarded the Austrian Ecolabel and has been able to reduce energy costs by a remarkable 40 percent by switching to district heating and other measures.

Pupils at the Ecolabel secondary schools in Lembach and Purbach are committed to regional and international climate protection.

These qualities are taught to the pupils at the Gymnasium and Realgymnasium in Seekirchen am Wallersee. The Ambassador School of the European Parliament was certified with the Austrian Ecolabel in 2022.

The HAK Lienz is the first educational institution in East Tyrol to be awarded the Austrian Ecolabel. This makes it an ecological pioneer!

"It is important to me to show the young people that healthy snacks and meals also taste good," emphasizes Natalija Odobasic, head of the new cafeteria at the vocational school in St. Veit an der Glan, Carinthia.

The primary school in Leobersdorf demonstrates how climate protection can succeed with "simple" organisational measures.

Ecology is a priority at ÖKO-Mittelschule Mäder in Vorarlberg: The overall environmental situation is a subject in its own right at Mäder. Within the framework of ecology lessons, the pupils' work in the school garden plays a very important role.

At the Evangelisches Gymnasium Donaustadt in Vienna, the Sustainable Development Goals were worked on by students during a project week. Ideas from the project have since been incorporated into everyday school life.

Despite the difficult weeks, a lot is happening in the eco-label schools, for example in the HBLFA Raumberg - Gumpenstein, which deals with the circular economy in agriculture.
