On 2 June, the UNEP Vienna Interim Secretariat of the Carpathian Convention (ISCC), the UN Information Service (UNIS) Vienna, this human world (THW) Film Festival and Topkino jointly held a screening of the documentary “Chasing Ice” (USA, 2012) by Jeff Orlowski. The film was followed by a podium discussion on climate change adaptation and mitigation. Among the three panellists were Mr. Harald Egerer, Head of Office of UNEP Vienna - Interim Secretariat of the Carpathian Convention, Mr. Helmut Hojesky from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management and Prof. Helga Kromp-Kolb of the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences (BOKU). The discussion focused on the importance of investing in adaptation and mitigation efforts, and the important role of every single individual to ensure a sustainable future. Furthermore, the panellists stressed out the need for all member states to find a joint agreement at the next UNFCCC COP 20 conference in Peru on CO2 reduction measures, and that such decisions should not solely rest on developing countries. The movie was very appreciated by the audience and the panellists.
