16 17 Research Project "sustainability & religion(s) - a pilgrimage" - PILGRIM In February 2002, the Austrian institutes for religious education in Austria and "respect", Institute for Integrative Tourism and Development, launched the "PILGRIM" project on the initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Culture and as part of Austrian cultural landscape research with the aim of linking the Austrian discourse on sustainable development with interreligious dialogue. (GZ 35.020/1-VI/A/4/2001). This was prompted by the UN World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg (South Africa) from 2-4 September 2002. The project initiatives were intended to stimulate new collaborations between scientists, world religions, schools and gardens for sustainable development and to further discuss research results. Hence in 2002/3, more than 60 scientists, teachers and garden and tourism practitioners were working on: > connections between sustainable development and theology > an interreligious dialogue on religion(s) and sustainability > the further development of environmental-ethical concepts and teaching content > gardens and religions in Austria The triangle of sustainability not only shows the complexity and multi-layered nature of the topic, but also highlights the contradictions and limitations of sustainable development. In the spirit of the "Sustainable Development and Religions" dialogue, spirituality was identified as the fourth dimension in the standard sustainability triangle.
