By 2030 it is possible and necessary to: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 % Increase the share of renewables to 60 % (final energy consumption) Reduce energy consumption by 30 % (final energy consumption) Rapid action needed on many levels and in all sectors. www.global2000.at

Results of Energy and Climate Scenario 2030/2050 DIE ÖSTERREICHISCHE UMWELTSCHUTZORGANISATION Reduction of energy consumption by 50 % is a precondition for decarbonisation of the energy system in an ecologically sound way. www.global2000.at

Policy demands Targets in line with goals of the Paris Agreement DIE ÖSTERREICHISCHE UMWELTSCHUTZORGANISATION Targets in line with goals of the Paris Agreement An adequate national and EU policy framework (carbon price, AT energy law) Decarbonisation roadmaps for each sector and certain big corporations An ecological tax reform as a central driver of decarbonisation Enough courage to set clear standards. E.g. new heating installations must be based on renewable and not on oil An action plan for absolute reduction of energy consumption www.global2000.at
