Honorarkonsul Gerold Ortner mit Gattin Stefanie, Historiker Stefan Karner, Rektorin Christa Neuper, Botschafter Artur Lorkowski und LAbg. Gregor Hammerl (v.l.)

Veranstaltung erinnerte an den Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs vor 100 Jahren

Zu einem „Fest für den Frieden“ trafen sich am 27. Oktober 2014 in der Aula der Uni Graz auf Initiative des polnischen Honorarkonsuls in der Steiermark, Landesamtsdirektor a.D. Gerold Ortner, VertreterInnen aus Politik, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Kultur. Der Historiker Univ.-Prof. Dr. Stefan Karner, Leiter des Instituts für Wirtschafts-, Sozial- und Unternehmensgeschichte der Uni Graz sowie des Ludwig Boltzmann-Instituts für Kriegsfolgenforschung, hielt den Festvortrag "Zum Gedenken - 100 Jahre Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges". Der Botschafter Polens in Österreich, Dr. Artur Lorkowski, erinnerte insbesondere an den Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs mit schweren Kämpfen in Galizien.

Der 100. Todestag der österreichischen Friedensnobelpreisträgerin Bertha von Suttner bot einen weiteren Anlass für die Veranstaltung. Einige Festgäste, unter anderen Prof. Mag. Anna Badora, Intendantin des Grazer Schauspielhauses, lasen Texte von Suttner, der polnischen Literaturnobelpreisträgerin Wisława Szymborska und des polnischen Freiheitskämpfers Władysław Bartoszewski zu den Themen Frieden und Freiheit.

Kammersängerin Univ.-Prof. Mag. Joanna Borowska-Isser gestaltete mit Studierenden der Grazer Kunstuniversität, begleitet von Mag. Joanna Niederdorfer und Mag. Svetlana Sukolova am Klavier, das musikalische Rahmenprogramm.

Setback: Austria's greenhouse gas emissions rise in 2025

Climate protection is currently facing an uphill battle. The United Nations have recently been unable to agree on a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels, even though global warming continues to accelerate. Also Austria still does not have a national climate law with a clear target path for reducing emissions. This is evidently taking its toll: Austria’s greenhouse gas emissions rose again in 2025 for the first time in years, by around two and a half percent, according to calculations by researchers at the University of Graz. In addition to overly cautious climate action measures, this is due to somewhat colder winter months compared to 2024, which are driving up natural gas consumption.
