The government in the capital Nuuk announced that the country would be moving into a new time zone. The Greenlanders want to move one hour closer to Denmark and the rest of Europe, meaning the time difference between Austria and Greenland will only be three hours instead of four from Sunday. Greenland is officially part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but is largely autonomous.

According to the Danish news agency Ritzau, the Greenlandic government agreed in November 2022 to abolish summer and winter time on the island. The UTC-2 time zone will apply all year round. According to government information, clocks should only be turned back on weekends in the small East Greenland town of Ittoqqortoormiit, which will not adjust to the new time zone until March 2024.
Summer time ends in Austria on Sunday. On October 29th, the hands in Europe will be turned back to standard time at 3:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.
