Schwarzenegger returns: Climate summit in Vienna causes excitement!

Wien, Österreich - Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to Austria for the "Austrian World Summit". The top-class environmental and climate conference, which takes place in Vienna on June 3, 2025, was initiated by Schwarzenegger in 2017. The focus is on the international climate crisis and the exchange about possible answers from politics and society. Officially, Schwarzenegger will be welcomed by Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker in the Federal Chancellery on June 2, 2025 at 5:30 p.m.

The event attracts leading personalities from over 80 countries, including Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen, ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair, Formula 1 world champion Nico Rosberg and ex-ski racer Felix Neureuther. The motto of this year's summit is "Unite in Action - Terminate Pollution", and it aims to accelerate solutions and progress in climate protection.

focus on first aiders in the climate case

One of the focus of the "Austrian World Summit" is on the first emergency services in the case of climate. These play a crucial role in the fight against climate -related disasters such as forest fires, floods and extreme weather events. Schwarzenegger has emphasized that the courage, determination and innovative strength of these first aiders are of great importance.

Before the conference, Schwarzenegger plans a visit to his home community Thal near Graz. There he would like to meet old friends and possibly visit the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum, which documents his career from the bodybuilder to the film star and governor of California. Thal is a retreat for Schwarzenegger, far from Hollywood and the political spotlight, and remains particularly connected to him.

climate change in global context

The "Austrian World Summit" takes place against the background of the international climate discussions. The UN climate conference (COP29) will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan in November 2024 and brings 197 states and the European Union to discuss the implementation of Paris Convention. The focus is on climate finance, in particular the support of developing countries.

Since 1995, numerous organizations have received observer status in these significant climate summits. Historical milestones of past conferences, such as the Kyoto protocol and the Paris Convention of 2015, are also part of the global climate discourse. So while the Austrian World Summit deals with local approaches to combat environmental problems, it remains part of a broader, international effort to cope with the climate crisis.

The Austrian World Summit is therefore not only a personal “heart project” by Arnold Schwarzenegger, but also an important platform for global dialogue about climate protection and sustainable future strategies.

Further information on the event can be found on the official website of the Austrian World Summit and on the general topics on the Weltklimakonference.
