Aktuell: Entwicklung der österreichischen Treibhausgasemissionen seit 2021
Erfreuliche Nachrichten: 2023 gingen die Treibhausgasemissionen in Österreich um 6,4 Prozent zurück, wie das Klimaschutzministerium und das Umweltbundesamt heute in einer Pressekonferenz bekanntgaben. Forscher:innen der Universität Graz haben analysiert, worin diese Reduktion begründet liegt. Hauptverantwortlich dafür sind demnach Änderungen bei Produktionsverfahren sowie im Verhalten der Bevölkerung. Sie bewirkten einen Emissionsrückgang von 5,6 Prozent. Ein weiteres Minus von 0,8 Prozent brachten die geringere wirtschaftliche Aktivität und der warme Winter.
