The Austrian Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change 2024 - Executive Summary
Climate change is becoming increasingly noticeable in Austria. It is confirmed by measurements and observations and is progressing faster than the global average (Stangl et alia 2022). Since 1880 the average surface temperature in Austria has increased by almost 2 °C (APCC 2014; CCCA 2021). 15 of the 16 warmest years from more than two and half centuries of recorded observations have occurred since 2000 (Haslinger et alia 2022; Stangl et alia 2022). In its sixth assessment, the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change is clearer than ever before: The extent, speed and magnitude of the impacts of climate change significantly exceed previous estimates. Human activities are clearly responsible for global warming (IPCC 2023). This increases the urgent need for rapid implementation of mitigation and adaptation measures (IPCC 2023).
