First the bad news: it's getting hotter. The good news is that by acting in an environmentally friendly way, each and every one of us can help limit the rise in temperature.

Global Warming, is the theme of the 2023 edition of the Niobium Silver Coin, the Austrian Mint's best-selling Niobium coin, providing a timely reminder that we need to act before it is too late.

The human-caused rise in temperature since 1850 has already passed the 1°C mark. It is not a new fact. As early as 2015, the Paris Agreement set a long-term goal of limiting temperature rises to 1.5°C, which was reaffirmed at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference. But current measures to reducing greenhouse gas emissions do not go far enough to achieve that goal. It is now feared that a temperature rise of more than 3°C could occur by 2100, with catastrophic consequences for both humans and the natural world.


If, by 2030, global CO2 emissions could be reduced by 45%, we would be well on our way to avoiding that increase. But time is running out and we are already beginning to see the disastrous effects of global warming. Extreme weather events, melting glaciers, and changing weather patterns are becoming more frequent. The reduction of energy consumption and the sustainable use of natural resources are important steps to combat these phenomena. Every ton of greenhouse gases we don't produce could help avert catastrophe.

Within the blue and gold niobium core on the coin's obverse, a thermometer forms part of a clock symbolizing that time is running out. To your left, a globe indicates +1.5 °C.

In the center of the coin's reverse there is also a globe, which addresses the economic, ecological and social aspects of sustainability. On the right are the silhouettes of two human faces, in front of which a sea turtle swims. Due to environmental pollution and global warming, this species is threatened with extinction.
