Final spurt at the Forum Alpbach – “Austria in Europe Days” from August 27th to 30th
Alpbach (OTS) –

In the super election year of 2024, the European Forum Alpbach (EFA) has “Moment of Truth” as its annual theme. Half of the world’s population – including Austria with the National Council elections in the fall – are making groundbreaking decisions for the coming years. In the midst of this highly politically exciting time, the most important actors from business, civil society and science are gathering in Alpbach. Here you will meet numerous members of the Austrian federal government and representatives from all parties to discuss Austria’s role in Europe, find solutions to the biggest challenges of our time and promote ideas for a strong Europe. More than half of the speakers are women.

Controversy surrounding the connection between economic and climate policy

The opening of the “Austria in Europe Days” initially focused on one of the most pressing questions of our time: How can economic and climate policy be linked? The designated EU Commissioner and current Austrian Finance Minister Magnus Brunner argued that “Before we can implement a Green Deal, we need a new deal for competitiveness.” EU MP Anna Stürgkh contradicted this: “We have to think about the economy and the climate together. Our economy must achieve the climate goals.” Die Climate activist Luisa Neubauer criticized the fact that the climate discussion is based on economic indicators: “GDP is an outdated way to assess the health of an economy. CO2 could be equally misleading: numbers are used to rationalize the story; “But these numbers are fairy tales about a planet that is dying.”

Reorganization and challenges in global governance

In the second part of the opening, the discussion revolved around the topic of multilateralism and the question of how it must and will change in the next few years. Thereby argued Samir Saran, President of the Observer Research Foundation, energetically that now is the time “to rethink the international project if we want to achieve broad participation in it.” While he took a more positive approach, emphasized Carl Bildt, co-chair of the European Council on Foreign Relationsthat “Global governance has become more difficult, but also much more necessary.”

The European Forum Alpbach will take place until August 30th and brings together numerous personalities. The complete program and press photos can be found here: www.alpbach.org
