Скачать или смотреть Exclusive interview with Austria's Minister Climate Action & Environment: Leonore Gewessler

Leonore Gewessler, Austria’s Federal Minister for Climate Action and Environment has been in the news of late. Her decision to stop a number of high-profile highway projects has opposition parties and its coalition partner in the Austrian government up in arms. iGlobenews discussed these projects, EU climate policy and transportation policy, COP26, Austria’s Climate Act and her position on nuclear energy.

Since the beginning of 2021, Austria has lacked a legal basis for its climate policy goals. The official government goal is climate neutrality by 2040 and Minister Gewessler is preparing a new Climate Act which will bring together the green goals for this government. Minister Gewessler is very open and supportive of science when it comes to the environment and climate. Her new Climate Act will bring scientists as well as civil groups together in a citizen’s climate council which will provide input into the policy decision-making process for achieving effective climate policies.
