Can you reduce poverty and CO₂ at the same time?

Press conference with Boku University Rector EVA Schulev-Steindl, Caritas Vice President Alexander Bodmann and Elisabeth Kneissl-Neumayer, Managing Director of Kneissl Touristik

Caritas and Boku University bundle their strength to reduce poverty and CO₂ together. The focus is on the relaunch of the Boku X Caritas climate protection platform, which combines social commitment and ecological responsibility in projects in the global south and greenwashing decisively counteracts.

The aim of the climate protection platform is not only to reduce poverty in the global south, but also to achieve a measurable, ecological added value that is scientifically accompanied and evaluated by BOKU University. At the same time, companies and private individuals have the opportunity to make a climate protection contribution through their donation.

Your interlocutors are:

• Eva Schulev-Steindl, Boku University Rector

• Alexander Bodmann, Caritas Vice President

• Elisabeth Kneissl-Neumayer, Managing Director/Managing Director of Kneissl Touristik

Media representatives are very cordially invited to the press conference.

Then we demonstrate how climate protection works in southern Sudan using energy-efficient cooking stoves and that CO₂ avoidance also tastes good.

All interlocutors and the Caritas office manager from South Sudan are available as interview partners.

One Accreditation At press@caritas-austria.at is requested.
