Level of Concern About Climate Change Among Austrians 2025

Climate concern in Austria simmers more than it blazes. Only 12.6% identify as extremely concerned, and a mere 22.1% are very concerned, surprising numbers in a country where climate impacts are increasingly visible, from flash floods in Salzburg to receding glaciers in Tyrol. 28.6% remain moderately concerned, signaling a widespread but not urgent awareness. Meanwhile, 23.6% are only slightly concerned, and 13% feel no concern at all. These numbers hint at climate fatigue or a belief that Austria, with its green policies and alpine image, is shielded from global extremes. But as Austria’s ski season shortens and energy prices spike partly due to climate-linked instability, public concern may soon intensify.
