Im Rahmen der UNO-Klimakonferenz soll ab Montag über Maßnahmen zur Begrenzung des weltweiten Temperaturanstiegs entschieden werden. Eine Mehrheit der ÖsterreicherInnen sieht die Erfolgsaussichten des Gipfels allerdings skeptisch. Dies zeigt eine aktuelle Umfrage der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Europapolitik (ÖGfE).
Generell wird der Klimawandel von rund zwei Drittel der ÖsterreicherInnen (64 Prozent) „eher als akute Gefahr“ betrachtet. 27 Prozent sehen ihn „eher nicht als akute Gefahr“. 8 Prozent äußern sich zu dieser Frage nicht.
Die Rolle der Europäischen Union in der internationalen Klimapolitik wird ambivalent beurteilt. 31 Prozent denken, dass die EU „eine Vorreiterrolle“ einnimmt, 27 Prozent meinen, sie „hinkt eher nach“, 30 Prozent äußern sich neutral („keines von beiden“).
Ziel des UNO-Klimagipfels ist die Beschränkung des globalen Temperaturanstiegs auf maximal zwei Grad Celsius bis zum Jahr 2100. 22 Prozent der befragten ÖsterreicherInnen sind optimistisch und glauben, dass sich die Konferenzteilnehmer auf Maßnahmen einigen werden, die die Umsetzung dieses Ziels ermöglichen. 62 Prozent äußern sich hingegen skeptisch und erwarten eher keinen Durchbruch (15 Prozent „weiß nicht/Keine Angabe).
Die Umfrage wurde von der Sozialwissenschaftlichen Studiengesellschaft vom 16. bis 24. November 2015 im Auftrag der ÖGfE durchgeführt. Befragt wurden österreichweit 516 Personen per Telefon (repräsentativ für die österreichische Bevölkerung ab 16 Jahre/Gewichtung nach Geschlecht, Alter und Bildung). Maximale Schwankungsbreite ca. +/- 4,5 Prozent. Differenz auf 100 Prozent aufgrund gerundeter Werte.

The prospect for a permanent debt competence of the European Commission
By: Georg Vobruba
NextGenerationEU (NGEU) is not the first EU bond programme of the European Commission, but it differs significantly from all its predecessors in terms of volume, earmarking, and issuance technique. The reactions on the capital market show great interest in bonds issued by the European Union, and this speaks for the continuation of the European Commission's debt competence as well as the formation of new institutions for its management. The expectation that NGEU offers an instrument against problematic developments in individual EU member states might work in the same sense, but nevertheless, EU community debt is not a panacea for all kinds of problems, argues the author of this Policy Brief. Against this background, he analyses the interests working towards a stabilisation of debt competence and the question of whether community debt could be the appropriate mode of financing for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

Progress has been made in all areas of the Green Deal, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reversing biodiversity loss and advancing the circular economy. However, Europe needs to show leadership and prove to the world that despite the pandemic and Russia’s war in Ukraine, it continues to pursue a socially just path towards climate neutrality by reinventing its model for a social market economy.
