Arnold Schwarzenegger must now painfully learn that the coronavirus can bring even the strongest men to their knees. The “Terminator” is not sick, but because he is currently in front of the camera for a television series in Canada, he has now had to cancel his participation in his own climate summit in Vienna.
The Austrian World Summit has been held in Vienna every year since 2017. The summit on climate protection was initiated by Arnie’s organization Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative. The Hollywood legend has mostly insisted on speaking up for the fight against climate change.
Corona risk delays trip to Vienna
But this year’s summit will have to do without Schwarzenegger, because as the “Krone” learned, Arnie will have to skip this year. The reason: His television producer in Canada is said to have advised him not to travel to Vienna for fear that his star could become infected with the corona virus. If Schwarzenegger got sick, filming would stop for weeks…
“He will be there virtually”
co-organiser However, Monika Langthaler emphasized that Schwarzenegger, as a committed climate activist, “will of course be virtually present.” So he will deliver his speech live stream from Toronto. The movie star will also virtually participate in discussion panels, “even if it’s the middle of the night with him”.
He told me that this conference is one of his top priorities, so it’s worth taking a night off to interview Michael Regan, head of the US Environmental Protection Agency and Frans Timmermans, Vice-President of the European Commission. ” Langthaler told the “Krone”: “Arnold and I thank all our guests for their understanding and I look forward to welcoming them all personally or virtually to the summit – because our other wonderful guests will be there at the Vienna Hofburg for a healthy planet to join.” The gala evening should also provide highlights with top-class guests.
