How the EU wants to tackle climate change, how well or poorly Austria is doing, and how sensible a CO2 tax really is.

Wildfires, heatwaves, flooding. The number of natural disasters keeps on rising. In the last two decades, the 18 warmest years since temperature records began have been observed. Climate change is transforming our world, and we're feeling it very clearly. Last December, heads of state and government agreed to bring greenhouse gas emissions to at least 55% below 1990 levels by 2030. But how realistic is this target, how well or poorly is Austria doing, and what measures can we expect now? Presenter Caroline Bartos discusses this with Bernhard Gaul, KURIER domestic politics editor and climate expert.

Also: How sensible is a CO2 tax really? Elisabeth Hofer, KURIER domestic politics editor, and Robert Kleedorfer, deputy head of the economics section, discuss this today.
