"Austrian World Summit": Arnold Schwarzenegger with Chancellor Stocker

"Climate protection knows no national borders and affects us all. In this, we as politicians must set the right course and bring both the population and the economy and industry on board," said Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) in a statement to the APA.

"The challenges we are currently facing are another mandate to act. The work we do is an important contribution to a world where pollution is a thing of the past and a sustainable future for all is possible," explained Schwarzenegger. The climate crisis cannot be solved through resignation or endless debates. "Instead of stagnation, we need action and the courage to turn frustration into positive energy," said the former Governor of California.

This is also the central task of the Summit, which takes place on Tuesday at the Hofburg. 1,500 people will showcase positive ways to address the climate crisis. Among the participants are also 500 students. Stocker emphasized that climate goals cannot be achieved "through bans and restrictions." "Instead, we run the risk of endangering our prosperity. The Austrian government relies on new ideas, innovation, and technology as the key to sustainable success. Together, we are committed to an ambitious goal: climate neutrality by 2040," said Stocker.
