The commission base its work on a comprehensive review of existing literature across diverse disciplines to formulate well-balanced transition options. These options consider both social and techno-economic factors, taking into account national contexts and evaluating the international and national implications of relevant policies, with a particular focus on Austria. The outcome should enable Austrian decision-makers to act quickly and responsibly. It will be refined through dialogue with stakeholders, representatives of the social partners, financiers and decision-makers, and disseminated via various formats, including debates under Chatham House Rules and background discussions with journalists. For this purpose, two working groups were initiated with the involved commission members, i.e. "Transformation Paths for a Climate-Friendly Energy System in Austria – Society, Infrastructure, Technology" (Working Group TRANS) and "Systemic Analysis of Socio-Economic, Technical, and Ecological Challenges of the Transformation of the European Energy System" (Working Group SYS).
