  1. Industrial energy transition & environmental protection. Mission (im)possible? Leonore Gewessler, Political CEO, GLOBAL 2000 www.global2000.at

  2. Climate reality DIE ÖSTERREICHISCHE UMWELTSCHUTZORGANISATION www.global2000.at

  3. Austria‘s fair share 2030 DIE ÖSTERREICHISCHE UMWELTSCHUTZORGANISATION Austria has to deliver its fair share to reaching the Paris goals. 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

  4. 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

  5. Results of Energy and Climate Scenario 2030/2050 II DIE ÖSTERREICHISCHE UMWELTSCHUTZORGANISATION -90 % www.global2000.at

  6. Preconditions: actors DIE ÖSTERREICHISCHE UMWELTSCHUTZORGANISATION 318 companies with a turnover of 47 Bn. Euro and 280.000 employees demand strong climate action by Austrian government – side by side with environmental NGOs Klima www.global2000.at

  8. Preconditions policy framework#Mission2030 does not deliver DIE ÖSTERREICHISCHE UMWELTSCHUTZORGANISATION Target trias of #mission 2030 puts ecological sustainability (emissions reductions) first, but doesn‘t deliver. It fails on: • targets in line with Paris agreement • adequate policy measures to fulfill goals and give sufficient sectoral guidance, especially for large parts of industry • sufficient funds • political coherence www.global2000.at

  9. Policy demands 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
