klimaaktiv dedicates its "Podcast - Der Klimadialog" to the greatest challenge of our time (where things are explained, lessons are shared, and discussions are had together) and speaks with Austria's climate heroes. Best-practice examples, pioneers, and courageous decision-makers from our country show us their bold paths into the future. Solution-oriented and hands-on, this exchange makes clear how we can tackle the crisis together — and what you can do to contribute!

Episode Information

The forest is an important ally in the fight against the climate crisis. It stores carbon, filters water, and cleans the air. But climate heating is taking its toll on the forest itself. Maren Röttger from the Bundesforsten tells us what forestry workers are already doing today to keep the forest stable in the future.

What the forest of the future should look like in the year 2100 can be explored on the interactive website of the Bundesforsten. You can find it here.

Taking action for the climate:

• Do you own a piece of woodland yourself? You can find important information on sustainable forest management here.
• Find out which measures help against bark beetles here.
• If you'd like to know exactly where the timber in Austria actually comes from and what we use it for, you'll find a handy overview here.

This is the podcast from klimaaktiv, an initiative of the Ministry of Climate Protection.
