- Die Folgen der globalen Erwärmung in Österreich zählen zu den regionalen Auswirkungen der Erderwärmung auf die Gesellschaft, die Gesundheit, die Natur und in technischen Belange, die sich durch das Ansteigen der Durchschnittstemperaturen bemerkbar machen. Durch diese Erwärmung können in Zukunft vermehrt Katastrophen wie Überflutungen, Vermurungen, Waldbrände und Stürme ausgelöst werden. Der Klimawandel ist in Österreich stärker ausgeprägt als in anderen Ländern Europas. Die Zentralanstalt für Meteorologie und Geodynamik (ZAMG) verzeichnete unter den zehn heißesten Sommer der Messgeschichte sechs aus den 2010er Jahren, weiters 2003 und zwei aus den 1990er Jahren. Der Sommer des Jahres 2019 war mit +2,7 % über dem Mittel der zweitheißeste Sommer der Messgeschichte. (de)
- Climate change in Austria is affecting Austrian temperatures, weather, ecosystems and biodiversity. Since 1950 temperatures have risen by 1.8 °C, and in the past 150 years glaciers have melted, losing a significant amount of their volume. Changed precipitation patterns, increased temperatures, reduced snowfall, melting glaciers and more frequent extreme weather phenomenon, such as droughts, are expected effects from climate change. Ecosystems and biodiversity in Austria are facing changes due to increasing temperatures and the spread of thermophile species, heat and drought stress on animals and plants, an increase in alien and invasive species and an increase in pathogenic organisms and the spread of disease. The Austrian economy is expected to be significantly affected by the effects of climate change, leading to costs of 4.2 to 5.2 million Euros per year by the middle of the century. More frequent and intense weather events cause increasing costs for reconstruction and maintenance of infrastructure, fewer days with snow lead to a decline of overnight tourists in the winter, and a higher number of heat related health issues challenge the Austrian healthcare system. To deal with the effects of climate change, mitigation efforts are being implemented from various directions. Politicians are planning to achieve climate neutrality by 2040 at the latest, as stated in the coalition agreement. As part of the European Union, Austria has to pursue efforts to reach the emission goals of the European Green Deal. Activists often see the mitigation efforts as too slow, and try to speed them up using petitions, campaigns and protests. (en)
