Austria: Climate Change A Challenge for Austrian Agriculture and Agricultural Policy

Climate change is an increasing challenge for Austrian agriculture and Austrian agricultural policy. The Austrian government tries to counteract the adverse effects of the climate change through specific climate protection programs and measures. Despite high subsidies, there is little progress so far in greenhouse gas savings in the agricultural sector. With the new EU Common Agricultural Policy, the Austrian government aims for increased climate protection and greenhouse gas savings in agriculture.
