Gewessler counters ÖVP: The government is cross-sectoral in the climate protection law

The ÖVP makes no secret of its reluctance. “The climate protection law is a basic noise in the whole thing, but not the most important thing,” said MP Johannes Schmuckenschlager, explaining why the turquoise-green coalition is not making any progress on the matter. The climate goals could also be achieved in other ways – for example with the law on the expansion of renewable energy and the acceleration of the environmental impact assessment in order to implement corresponding projects quickly: “The climate protection law is not the top priority now.”
