Weiter Handlungsbedarf beim Klimaschutz in Österreich ortet der Rechnungshof (RH): Die Hälfte aller 20 früheren Empfehlungen haben Klimaschutz- und Finanzministerium laut dem jüngsten RH-Bericht nicht umgesetzt, weitere acht nur teilweise. Lediglich in zwei Punkten kamen die Ministerien den Empfehlungen nach. Kritisiert wurde erneut das Fehlen eines Klimaschutzgesetzes, Säumigkeit beim Nationalen Energie- und Klimaplans und eine drohende Verfehlung der EU-Treibhausgasziele.

Zwar seien die Treibhausgas-Emissionen im Nicht-Emissionshandelsbereich im Jahr 2022 um 5,0 Prozent bzw. 5,3 Prozent im Jahr 2023 zurückgegangen und hätten die nationalen jährlichen Höchstmengen unterschritten. Prognosen würden jedoch von einem geringeren Rückgang der Gesamtemissionen in den Jahren 2024 und 2025 ausgehen, heißt es im jüngsten Bericht. „Österreich würde mit...

Det er nemlig særdeles kompliceret at reparere. »Selv i bedste tilfælde tager det flere måneder,« forklarer Tuomas Rauhala, der er leder og ansvarlig for driften i Fingrid, til Ingeniøren. RPT
