Global change – impact on winter tourism<br />
In Upper Austria winter tourism is one of the most important sectors of the economy,<br />
especially in the south. If the climate change goes on like this <strong>and</strong> it gets warmer <strong>and</strong> warmer,<br />
there will be even less snow than now.<br />
When there are two snow-poor winters in a row, some skiing- areas could threaten the<br />
bankruptcy <strong>and</strong> would have to give up some of their ski- slopes. Many working places would<br />
be lost.<br />
Renewable sources<br />
Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources like rain, wind, sunlight,<br />
tides <strong>and</strong> geothermal heat. <strong>The</strong> source of renewable energy either regenerates quickly or the<br />
utilization of renewable energy does not lead to exhaustion of the source.<br />
About 34% of Upper Austria’s energy comes from renewable sources, which is a relatively<br />
high percentage.<br />
