Climate change

Climate change and its consequences for humans and ecosystems are among the greatest challenges of our time. Scientific studies and forecasts on the loss of species, extreme weather events, and human health underscore the urgency to at least limit global warming. The central requirement to meet this goal is the significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Low CO2e-and renewable energy generation is a decisive lever to reach the 1.5°C target set by the Paris Climate Agreement. As an energy provider, we make an important contribution to the decarbonisation of the energy sector and to meeting European and Austrian climate goals with our sustainability oriented management. The intensified expansion of our renewable generation capacity makes an effective contribution to climate protection. EVN’s innovation and sustainability corporate function is responsible for the coordination and preparation of issues related to climate change.
