“Krone” asked “Scientist of the Year” Franz Essl for an interview. The ecologist with Upper Austrian roots describes, among other things, how climate change is gaining momentum, what he is doing about it in his personal environment and together with his family and how far environmental protection can actually go.
The chickens are clucking in Franz Essl’s garden – right in the center of Vienna. In the kitchen of the “Scientist of the Year” there is a bulletin board with a note on it with a number of points: “Fly less, heat less, stream less, eat more from the garden”. The theme of the environment is pervasive in his house, as he explains over coffee with the “crown”: “My wife and I talk a lot with our daughters about climate protection.”
