Switzerland in 2050
The project CH2050 was conducted together with ProClim and has been presented on 14 March 2007 at a public event in Bern.
This project of the OcCC attempts to pre-estimate the effects of climate change on Switzerland for the year 2050. Based on climate scenarios, the vulnerabilities of various spheres, such as ecology, agriculture, health, tourism, water supply, infrastructure, etc. were examined. What changes are particularly harmful? What can be done in order to adapt in time as efficiently as possible to the changing conditions?
The study is available as a .pdf file (german, french) and can be ordered from the OcCC/ProClim secretariat as a hardcopy. A English version will be available as a .pdf file in July.
