Environmental protection organisation Greenpeace has published a damning report as part of a new party control of the ÖVP and FPÖ. Climate and energy expert Jasmin Duregger speaks in the krone.tv talk about the background and in which areas the next government still has a lot to do.
According to Duregger, the election programs of the ÖVP and FPÖ do not contain sufficient solutions to the climate crisis, no plans for consistent nature restoration or binding targets against soil sealing. Instead, the measures proposed by both parties are exacerbating the climate crisis.
The Greens, SPÖ, NEOS, KPÖ and the BIER party focus on ecological measures in their programmes, with the Greens performing best in the comparison of environmental policy parties.
The recent floods are the result of decades of government failure: “Infiltration areas were destroyed and closed off, and climate protection was only half-heartedly pursued. The new federal government of Austria must prioritize climate and environmental protection.”
