Gewessler und Edtstadtler sind zu sehen. — Austria’s Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens, left) and European Affairs Minister Karoline Edtstadler (ÖVP, right) continue to argue about the draft NECP. Because it is missing, the EU has initiated infringement proceedings against Austria.

EU infringement proceedings are currently underway against Austria. The country has still not submitted its National Energy and Climate Plan (NCEP). Leading climate researchers have now presented how Austria can achieve its climate target.

In Austria, part of the climate science community has increased the pressure on the government to submit the overdue energy and climate policy plan to the EU. To this end, the climate research network CCCA hosted a press conference on Wednesday at which leading climate researchers presented an assessment of more than 1,400 measures. A representative opinion poll was also conducted for this purpose.
