Abstract (may include machine translation)
Magyarországon, a hasonló gazdasági problémákkal küzdő és kevésbé gazdag országokhoz hasonlóan, az éghajlatváltozás elleni küzdelem, súlya ellenére sem kerülhet bele a legmagasabb prioritású politikai célkitűzések közé. Viszont az ügy fontossága, valamint Magyarország politikai környezete miatt, vagyis a klímavédelemben a világon élen-járó Európai Unió részeként, nekünk is ki kell vennünk a probléma el-len való küzdelemben a részünket. Ilyen körülmények között rendkí-vül fontos megtalálni azokat a klímavédelmi intézkedéseket, amelyek egyszerre több gazdasági, társadalmi, politikai cél elérését mozdítják elő, a klímavédelmi hatásokon kívül. Erre a célra talán a legalkalma-sabb terület az energiahatékonyság növelése, hiszen ezek járulékos hasznai sokszor sokkal nagyobbak, mint magából a klímavédelemből származók.
In Hungary, like in other less wealthy countries with similar economic problems, the fight against climate change, despite its importance, cannot be included among the highest priority policy objectives. However, due to the importance of the issue and Hungary's political environment, i.e. as part of the European Union, which is a world leader in climate protection, we must also play our part in the fight against climate change. Under these circumstances, it is of the utmost importance to find climate protection measures that promote the achievement of several economic, social and political goals at the same time, in addition to climate protection effects. Perhaps the most appropriate area for this purpose is to increase energy efficiency, as the co-benefits of this are often much greater than those of climate protection itself.
