Arnold Schwarzenegger could come to Romania to promote green projects

Hollywood star and former governor of California, USA, Arnold Schwarzenegger could visit Romania, according to Prime Minister Victor Ponta.

Romania’s PM met Schwarzenegger on January 31 at a conference on sustainable development and environmental protection in Vienna, Austria. «We talked and I believe Mr. Schwarzenegger will come to Romania,» said PM Ponta.

A visit would potentially heighten interest in energy efficiency and reports suggest that both agreed Schwarzenegger’s celebrity status could help promote projects in Romania.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the founder and chair of the R20 Vienna Conference, which brings together sub-national local government leaders, academic institutions, NGOs and private enterprise to explore ideas on implementing sustainable green developments. The scheme runs in association with the United Nations and aims «To develop and implement measurable, large-scale, low-carbon and climate resilient economic development projects at the sub-national level which can simultaneously solve the climate crisis and build a sustainable global economy.»
