Abstract

In this research project a scheme of mitigation and adaptation strategies for a case study region in Austria is developed and quantitatively assessed. In particular, the project aims to analyse the relationship between mitigation and adaptation strategies in a regional context, i.e., economic impacts from viable climate response strategies are assessed. Concerning mitigation the focus is on fostering the use of biomass as energy carrier in order to substitute fossil energy resources in heat production. Adaptation is considered in the agricultural sector by using new crop varieties and technologies in order to reduce adverse impacts from climate change and thus stabilise agricultural output. The wider Feldbach region in South-Eastern Styria (at NUTS 3 level, embedded within Styria, NUTS 2 level) is selected as a case study for the present regional analysis.
