Diese Summen zeigen, wieviel Geld jährlich aus Österreich abfließt, um sprichwörtlich verheizt zu werden. Das zeigt, wie wichtig unsere Mission „Raus aus Gas“ ist. Damit jede*r Zugang zu klimafreundlicher, regionaler, von internationalen Preissprüngen unabhängiger und nachhaltiger Energie hat.

🚨 Die Zahlen für 2025 da: Österreich hat im letzten Jahr für den Import von fossiler Energie (Kohle, Öl, Gas) netto 7,85 Mrd. € ausgegeben, den überwiegenden Großteil (5,7 Mrd. €) für Öl und Ölprodukte. Abhängigkeiten, die uns schwächen. Viel zu viel Geld, das aus Österreich abfließt.

The EC’s long-awaited "Grids Package" is finally out. Moving toward a system-oriented approach for Europe's infrastructure is the right step, but it won't work in a black box. In my latest for @bruegel.org, I argue why transparency is important to making this effective.

⚡ Europeanised energy infrastructure planning is a good idea if done right 🤝 But will the Commission's proposal foster the trust needed to make a centralised infrastructure work? 🔗 Read @aroth.bsky.social's First Glance: www.bruegel.org/first-glance... #EconSky

Vorerst keine erfolgreiche Klimaklage aus 🇦🇹! Das Ergebnis überrascht nicht: den Vertragsstaaten kommt ein maßnamenbezogenes Ermessen bei der Erfüllung ihrer klimabezogenen Schutzpflicht zu.

EGMR, Fliegenschnee u.a. gegen Österreich: Beschwerde wegen Weigerung, ein Verkaufsverbot für fossile Treibstoffe zu erlassen, wurde als unzulässig zurückgewiesen: hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng?i=001-24... Pressemitteilung: hudoc.echr.coe.int/app/conversi... Anwendung der KilmaSeniorinnen-Grundsätze: /2

Pressemitteilung des EGMR:
Complaints about Austria’s refusal of a request to ban sale of fossil fuels rejected as inadmissible
In its decision in the case of Fliegenschnee and Others v. Austria (application no. 40054/23) the European Court of Human Rights has, unanimously, declared the application inadmissible. The decision is final.
The case concerned the Austrian Federal Minister for Economic and Digital Affairs’ refusal to ban the sale of fossil fuels to mitigate the impact of climate change as she was not competent in that regard.
The Court found that the three individual applicants who had brought the case had not provided evidence to show that they had been personally affected by climate change, either because of their age or health issues or owing to crop shortfalls caused by drought. They could not therefore claim to be victims of a violation of Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) or Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (protection of property) to the European Convention on Human Rights and those complaints were inadmissible.
As concerned the remaining applicant, Umweltschutzorganisation Global 2000, the Court considered that it was not necessary to decide whether it had standing to bring its complaints under Article 8 of the European Convention because they were inadmissible as manifestly ill-founded. In particular Article 8 did not guarantee the right to a specific measure, namely a ban on the sale of fossil fuels under the Austrian Trade Act.
The Court noted the general principles for complaints under the Convention concerning climate change set out in the 2024 Grand Chamber judgment Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v. Switzerland.
