Austria gets a new law for the climate. The government shows the plans. The law protects the climate. The goal is climate neutrality by the year 2040. Climate neutrality means: People release only as many exhaust gases as nature can take. The climate stays safe.
The parties FPÖ and Greens criticize the law. The Greens are angry about missing sanctions. Sanctions are punishments. If people miss goals, nothing happens. Sigrid Maurer from the Greens thinks this is wrong. She says: The government is not serious. The plan takes too much time. The exact plan is ready in 2027.
The FPÖ sees many problems. The parties SPÖ and ÖVP say different things. The SPÖ celebrates the goal for the year 2040. The ÖVP says: This goal is not mandatory in Europe. Europe has another goal. The FPÖ finds this confusing. Austria had no valid law for the climate for 3 years.
