National Energy and Climate Plan (NEKP) for Austria – Scientific Assessment of the Measures Proposed in the 2023 Consultation

In order to slow down global climate change, mitigate its effects and shape a sustainable future for young and future generations, international coordination and comprehensive national implementation plans for climate measures are essential. Against this background, the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK), after involving the relevant other Austrian federal ministries, presented the draft of an integrated national energy and climate plan (NEKP) for Austria at the end of June 2023 (period 2021-2030). This draft was open for comment in summer 2023 to ensure broad participation from public and private institutions and individuals.
