Austria's new government under pressure: crisis aid and climate protection Now!
A new era of international development policy is in Austria after the new government has recently continued the foreign catastrophic fund. In view of well over 305 million people who urgently need humanitarian aid, this step is considered a positive signal by central and aid organizations. However, Stefan Fritz, Managing Director of an auxiliary organization International, states that the massive international financing gap is increasing the challenges by cuts in the USAI funds in crisis regions such as Syria and Ukraine. Compared to the Rnd reported. Experts warn that measures must be taken immediately to counteract a disaster in the transport sector before it is too late and the traffic must be practically shut down. Many politicians are aware of urgency, but a fundamental reform of climate policy is required.
In view of these developments, several organizations such as the Catholic Young Chart and the AG Global Responsibility of the new government express their encouragement, but at the same time require clear and quick measures to combat poverty, promote peace and protection of the climate. These perspectives are at the center of Austrian development cooperation and it remains to be seen how the new government reacts to the pressing challenges.Details | |
