Based on the Paris Agreement, Burgenland has set itself the goal of becoming climate neutral latest 2050 and would like to do his part to curb global warming to a maximum of 2 degrees.
With a climate and energy sztrategy, Burgenland would like to foresee the corresponding path by 2050 with interim goals by 2040.

• To the north there is the Parndorf Plateau, a 200 km² gravel field, 40 meters above the lake basin
• To the southeast there is the Hanság, for the most part on Hungarian territory; it occupies some 460 km².
• To the east -between the Parndorf Plateau and the Main Regulation Channel (Einserkanal) there is the plain called Seewinkel that covers 450 km².
• Today, the lake covers about 320 km². It is situated at the lowest point of the Small Hungarian Plain, in a basin without outlet, at about 113 metres above sea level.
