The Austrian Panel on Climate Change has compiled the current state of knowledge on climate change in Austria and published it in the second Austrian assessment report.

Europe has been warming at twice the rate of any other continent since the 1980s. Alongside the Mediterranean region, the Alps are considered a particularly significant "climate hotspot". What kind of climate changes should Austria expect? What options are there for adaptation, and what do the transformation pathways towards a climate-neutral society look like? Around 200 scientists spent three years working on these questions. Through the Austrian Panel on Climate Change, they aim to provide a foundation for evidence-based climate policy and offer an impetus for change.

Listen to the conversation with climate researchers and authors of the climate report on Dimensionen on oe1: Harald Rieder (BOKU University), Margreth Keiler (University of Innsbruck | UIBK & Austrian Academy of Sciences | ÖAW) and Daniel Huppmann (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis | IIASA).
