In dieser 14. Ausgabe legt das WIFO Schlüsselindikatoren zu Klimawandel und Energiewirtschaft vor, die die Entwicklung von Treibhausgasemissionen, Energieverbrauch und Wirtschaftsleistung im Jahr 2019 beleuchten. Demnach nahmen die Treibhausgasemissionen in Österreich 2019 nach einem Rückgang im Vorjahr (–3,75%) erneut zu (+1,5% gegenüber 2018), sie stiegen allerdings weniger stark als der Bruttoinlandsverbrauch an Energie (+2%). Es konnte keine Entkoppelung der Treibhausgasemissionen von der Wirtschaftsentwicklung (+1,5%) erzielt werden. Das Schwerpunktthema widmet sich den klima- und umweltrelevanten Anpassungsmaßnahmen des österreichischen Aufbau- und Resilienzplans, der der Bewältigung des Konjunktureinbruchs infolge der COVID-19-Pandemie dient.

Key Indicators of Climate Change and the Energy Sector in 2021. Special Topic: Environmental and Climate Actions in Austria's Recovery and Resilience Plan
In this 14th edition, WIFO presents several key indicators on climate change and the energy industry that underpin the development of greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and economic performance in Austria until 2019. According to the report, greenhouse gas emissions increased again in 2019 (+1.5 percent) after decline in 2018 (–3.75 percent). Greenhouse gas emissions increased less than gross domestic energy consumption (+2 percent). Nevertheless, the general trend still lacks a decoupling of greenhouse gas emissions from economic development (+1.5 percent). Supplementary, the special topic deals with the climate- and environment-relevant adaptation actions of the Austrian Recovery and Resilience Plan to cope with the upcoming challenges caused by the COVID-19 related economic recession.
