How can these goals be achieved without threatening the livelihoods of workers in climate-damaging industries such as the automotive sector? How can workers be effectively protected during the crisis without jeopardising climate targets? What challenges do trade unions face as representatives of workers and as socio-political actors? What challenges does climate policy face? What points of connection between the climate and trade union movements are emerging in the current crisis?

Discussing these questions are:

• Leonore Gewessler (Federal Minister for climate protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology)
• Karl Dürtscher (Federal Managing Director, Union of Private Sector Employees, Printing, Journalism and Paper)
• Melanie Pichler (Political Scientist, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences)
• Luise Bacher (Climate activist, System Change Not Climate Change)

Moderation: Ulrich Brand (Professor of International Politics, University of Vienna)
