Schwarzenegger warns: only with courage we defeat the climate crisis!
Hofburg, Wien, Österreich - Arnold Schwarzenegger urged the need to act in view of the climate crisis when visiting the Austrian Chancellor Stocker. He referred to the urgency that pollution must belong to the past and that a sustainable future is possible. "Resignation and endless debates do not solve the climate crisis; it takes energy and the courage to convert frustration into positive energy," says Schwarzenegger. This message underlines the central themes of the upcoming summit in the Hofburg, which takes place on Tuesday and will take part in 1,500 people, including 500 students.
Chancellor Stocker added that climate goals cannot be achieved through prohibitions and restrictions. He warned that such measures could endanger prosperity. The Austrian Federal Government rely on new ideas, innovation and technology as the key to sustainable success and has the aim of achieving climate neutrality by 2040. The challenges are enormous, but the initiatives are also promising.
international climate goals and European initiatives
The pressure to combat climate change is not only noticeable at national, but also at an international level. The European Union signed the Paris climate agreement in 2016, which provides to limit global warming compared to pre -industrial values to below 2 ° C. This commitment is also evident in the EU's commitment to implement the United Nations's sustainability goals and to promote sustainable development by 2030. In this context, the measures of the European Green Deal were also launched, the aim of which is to achieve climate neutrality by 2050
The Green Deal stipulates that economic growth should be decoupled from resource consumption. In June 2021, the European Climate Act was adopted, which defines a reduction obligation of net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030 (compared to 1990). This is intended to promote investments in environmentally friendly technologies and support industry in innovations. The EU has developed ambitious action plans for resource use, restoring biodiversity and fighting environmental pollution.
participation and responsibility
The incoming discussion about the climate crisis shows the increasing importance of sustainability and climate protection in political initiatives. At least 30 % of EU expenses in the 2021-2027 financial framework for several years are to flow into climate measures. It is also a goal for Horizont Europe to plan 35 % of the funds for climate -relevant research. All of these measures are part of a large whole that combines the European states in their commitment to climate change.
The European Parliament has several times to support the long -term goal of climate neutrality by 2050 and also to proclaim the climate emergency. These decisions and the regularly updated emission reduction goals are an expression of a common European will that goes beyond national borders and assumes responsibility for future generations.
Overall, it becomes clear that numerous initiatives and measures are taken at both national and European level in order to resolve the challenges of the climate crisis. The combination of technology, international obligations and the commitment of the population is crucial.
The importance of a coordinated procedure is underlined by the progressive developments in the EU internal policy and the negotiations in the context of the Paris Agreement, which create a common direction for the future.
