Abstract

In dieser 13. Ausgabe legt das WIFO Schlüsselindikatoren zu Klimawandel und Energiewirtschaft vor, die die Entwicklung von Treibhausgasemissionen, Energieverbrauch und Wirtschaftsleistung beleuchten. Demnach nahmen die Treibhaushausgasemissionen in Österreich 2018 gegenüber dem Vorjahr erstmals seit drei Jahren ab (3,75%). Sie lagen damit auf dem Niveau von 1990 bzw. 2015. Haupttreiber dieser Entwicklung waren Sondereffekte in der Industrie, eine geringere Zahl an Heizgradtagen sowie ein Rückgang der heimischen Stromerzeugung. Der Verkehrssektor war nach wie vor Treiber der Emissionsdynamik. Die reale Bruttowertschöpfung wuchs dabei um 2,4%. Das Schwerpunktthema beschäftigt sich mit der durch die COVID-19-Pandemie bedingten Verringerung der CO2-Emissionen und verweist auf die Bedeutung der aufgelegten Konjunkturpakete für die Förderung der Innovationskraft hin zu einer resilienten und kohlenstofffreien Wirtschaft.
