You can find topics or measures relevant to you in several different ways within the measures.
The aim of klima2go is to make measures from various sources searchable according to comparable criteria. This is, however, a major challenge, as sources often differ in their system boundaries, sectors, and the time frames they consider. To overcome this hurdle, we've opted for a workable compromise. The assignments were made by the project team based on jointly defined criteria, to enable a transparent classification across all sources. That said, this guidance should be understood as a helpful tool rather than an immutable fact.
For the current version of klima2go, the categories climate impact, sector, and turning point were selected to carry out an initial comparable analysis of the respective measures. You can find a detailed description of these in the Glossary.
Assessment of climate impact:
The measures are categorised according to their climate impact. The measures contribute either to mitigation (climate protection), to adaptation (climate change adaptation), or can contribute to both simultaneously. While klima2go primarily contains climate measures, it also includes a wide range of sustainability measures. As a result, there are measures that either indirectly or not immediately affect the climate, or that may have no direct climate impact at all. These are each labelled "indirect". These measures are of great importance, as climate and sustainability are inseparably linked. Detailed definitions of climate impact are provided in the Glossary.
Assignment to sectors:
Since there are no universally applicable, overarching definitions for sectors, we've developed our own classifications based on the sector definitions used for national reporting, informed by project discussions. These are intended to provide an initial well-founded reference point for a comparable and workable assessment of the measures, and are described in detail in the Glossary.
Assignment to turning points:
The report "Earth for All" to the Club of Rome describes five interconnected turning points that serve as a political roadmap for creating the foundations of a resilient civilisation by 2050. (Source: Dixson-Declève, S. et al. 2022, Earth for All).
Building on the international report, the Austrian Chapter of the Club of Rome published a national report on the implementation of the five turning points in Austria. (Source: Swoboda, H., Gaber, S., Hinterberger, F. 2024. Club of Rome - Austrian Chapter. Eine Erde für Alle, Ein Guide für Österreich)
Further information can be found in the Earth for All report:

A detailed description of the turning points can be found in the Glossary.
Free-text search:
You can carry out a free-text search within the titles of the measures. Searching within the detailed measure texts is not currently possible.
Additional factors:
There are ongoing efforts to assign further aspects to the measures, such as: the level of action for implementation, greenhouse gas reduction potential, and implementation effort. However, this work is highly complex and requires additional financial and time resources.
