Austria Wastes Billions on Climate-Damaging Subsidies, Undermining Environmental Goals
Subsidies in Austria that harm the climate are being looked at to see how they can be changed. These subsidies work against efforts to protect the climate and make it harder for cleaner options to succeed. The researchers studied different types of subsidies given by the government, like those for energy, transportation, and farming. They found that these subsidies add up to around €4.1-5.7 billion every year. The researchers also looked at laws that support these subsidies and suggested ways to change them to be more environmentally friendly and fair.
