Weinklim – Viniculture and Climate Change

Viniculture and Climate Change: Options for adaptation and mitigation. Case Study Traisental

This project aims to develop actions and measures to obviate negative impacts of climate change on winegrowing and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of grape- and wine production and marketing.

At the same time the case study region Traisental (situated in Lower Austria) intends to promote sustainable wine production techniques as a trademark for local winegrowing and as a role model for other winegrowing regions.

In this project, SERI is responsible for the analysis of the product life cycle of downstream processes (packing, storage, transport, sales) regarding their greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, SERI involves local winegrowers and other local stakeholders in the project via interviews and workshops and is responsible for the dissemination of the project results.
