Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler presented the Austrian Energy and Climate Plan (NEKP) and will now submit it to the EU Commission.
This is the second attempt at a submission: Minister Gewessler first sent a draft to Brussels in December 2023, but it was withdrawn by European Affairs Minister Caroline Edtstadler (ÖVP).
In view of the shortage of nursing staff, AI-supported assistance systems for the home are becoming increasingly urgent. In Germany alone, there will be a shortage of over 3 million homes suitable for the elderly and over 600,000 care workers by 2030. Technology that already provides support in care facilities is now also available on the market for private households.
What technologies are available for heating and hot water, and which should a village or region rely on? The short study "Heat transition in the village" by Scientists for Future analyzed the market for alternative heat sources and highlights the limits and myths of alternative heating systems. At the same time, it questions how the heating transition can be made affordable.
Being able to live healthily and independently at home for as long as possible is not only the wish of many people. Places in care homes are scarce due to the shortage of skilled workers, so care will increasingly take place at home. Due to longer life expectancy, women are particularly affected by this, and they also often care for their closest relatives.
