Totschnig presents first draft of the Climate Act
This is now to be jointly developed and then sent for review, announced the head of the department on Tuesday in the ORF midday journal. Totschnig did not comment on specific measures, but referred to the key points contained in the government program. Such as an interministerial steering group, a control mechanism in case goals are not achieved, and a roadmap with targets for the individual sectors with regard to climate neutrality by 2040.
Government wants to vote on Climate Act in the fall
They are working at full speed on the Climate Act and he sees a high motivation in the government to send it on its way soon. It must then go through the parliamentary process in the fall. As for "regulatory measures" in addition to the subsidies, these would come up for discussion "when we all sit together in the steering group."
Criticism from Gewessler
The chairwoman of the Green Party, Leonore Gewessler, spoke up with a statement: "While Minister Totschnig tells us today that he wants to save the climate by sitting around, one heatwave after another storm is hitting Europe." This federal government is destroying the successful climate policy of recent years day by day. While there is no money for the railway, there are billions for the Lobau highway through the national park.
