Schwarzenegger Invites to the Austrian World Summit at the Viennese Hofburg

At the meeting with participants from over 80 countries, joint solutions are to be developed to "drive progress", said the former California Governor Schwarzenegger. This year, the focus will be on "heroes and heroines who often fight in the shadows for our planet and the population", according to the organizers. This refers to the "forces at the forefront of the climate crisis". This includes not only firefighters who recently fought the forest fires in California, but also those men and women who have fought against floods and flash floods in Spain, Italy and also Austria.

Van der Bellen sees Austrian World Summit as an important signal

President Van der Bellen sees the summit as an important signal. "It unites people, ideas and solutions from all over the world and bundles them in the Vienna Hofburg. In this way, we jointly face the challenges of the climate crisis and actively shape a sustainable future."

The director of the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, Monika Langthaler, described the forces as role models for everyone. "Their commitment shows that every decision, every effort and every action counts to protect our world - today and for future generations. That's why we want to give them a stage at the Summit this year."

Schwarzenegger: "We are stronger than the challenges"

In addition to the conference, a solution-oriented expo will take place again. This fair for more climate protection takes place in the premises of the Hofburg and is freely accessible to all interested parties.

"Global progress - from groundbreaking environmental technologies to increasingly sustainable innovations - not only gives us hope, it is an unstoppable engine of change. Yes, the challenges may seem large and powerful in some places, but together we are clearly stronger", said Schwarzenegger.
