Climate crisis: Greens warn of step backwards in environmental policy!
The new federal government is under strong pressure regarding its climate policy: "Climate protection is only mentioned ten times on 210 pages, while the chapter only includes climate and environmental protection. Without the Greens, the demolition bulb threatens in climate protection," emphasizes Judith Pühringer, the chairwoman of the Greens Vienna. The support of the NEOS for the controversial project of the Lobau motorway is particularly worrying, which shows that the climate goals are seriously on the brink. Pühringer warns: "The current government is our last chance to reach the climate goals by 2030. Instead of a reverse movement, we have to keep the course and go forward", as ots.at reported.
The cuts in climate funding, both in photovoltaics and when the gas exit, have already been taken over by the FPÖ and the ÖVP, which again underpins Pühringer's fears. These developments are alarming and dangerously jeopardized the achievement of the climate goals. The SPÖ among braers, which previously stood for social justice, also seems to move to the right by supporting drastic measures such as the suspension of family reunification and massive cuts in social benefits.
tackle social challenges
Pühringer also emphasizes that the challenges we currently face have many facets. Exploding housing costs, social justice and climate issues require politics to find answers. "In times like this, the topics of social justice and climate protection are in the foreground, because the strongest affected groups are often the socially weakest," she explains. It is crucial that politics not only talks about it, but also actively develops solutions to regain the trust of the citizens, as well as wien.gruene.at
