On Wednesday, the EU committee presented its new climate goals by 2040, including an increased possibility of the international certificate trade. The greens now warn of mesh and mitigate climate protection.
The federal government left the “Way of the Ambition” and was primarily a budgetary “with the demolition bravator” in climate protection, criticized spokeswoman Leonore Gewessler of Climate Protection Thursday. Ministry of Environment Norbert Tettschnig (ÖVP) is currently making a “reversal” and is looking for road – “a big mistake,” said Gewessler, who was Minister of Environment from 2020 to 2025. In the future, your party would “put pressure on Austria, so that Austria is not permanently on the brakes and blockers”.
The Greens see Mazen, for example in the possibility of the international certificate trade, with which you can compensate for domestic CO₂ emissions with projects for climate protection abroad. According to the greens boss, the saving of carbon dioxide can only be reserved for individual sectors, for example the cement industry. It is much more important to invest in renewable energy sources, circular economy and future technologies.
Comment wants more CO2 storage
On the other hand, the latter sees an “important measure”. “The closer we get to the intervening goal, the higher the costs for CO₂ certificates and I think it’s good if you have alternatives (…), because the climate is ultimately a global subject and on the other hand we need a competitive, strong economy that also needs flexibility (…),” he said on Thursday.
In Europe, some Member States are currently inhibiting France, said EU MP Lena Schilling (Greens). Within the EVP, which also includes the ÖVP, there are various views on EU climate policy. Said Behessler.
