Austria is affected by climate change – and that’s easily provable. So, for example, temperature increase in Austria since 1860, i.e. 1.8 degrees Celsius, is roughly three times as high as global temperature increase, which is 0.6 degrees Celsius. Climate protection is among the top priorities of the Ministry of Life’s agenda. > more about: KlimKlima:aktiv – The Climate Protection Campaign of the Ministry of Life
