First contact in the field of economy

The umbrella organization Energie-Klima, a working group within the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, is committed to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. Climate protection is not only an important social objective but also an obligation under Community law in the EU.

The umbrella organization represents the interests of the economy. In this platform, professional associations of trade, commerce and industry as well as associations are organized, which are concerned with the economic implementation in connection with renewable energy sources and climate protection.
