Gender equality is good for the economy

Although there have been significant improvements over the past decades, no single country has yet achieved gender parity. Even though Switzerland ranks 13 out of 146 countries on the Global Gender Gap Index there is room for improvement, especially when it comes to the labour market. Closing the gender gap could benefit companies as well as the entire society.

What is climate change and where are we heading? – Part 2

Burning fossil fuels has caused a rapid concentration of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. As a result, the world has already warmed ca. 1.2 degrees Celsius, compared to preindustrial levels. The climate is increasingly changing, and we are suffering the consequences. The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, preferably 1.5 degrees Celsius (°C). However, the world is far off track and COP27 has made the 1.5°C, target increasingly unlikely.

Urgent action to achieve Climate Stability

Earth is warming rapidly mainly due to CO2 emissions from human made activities like burning fossil fuels. We see the effects of climate change both globally and in Switzerland such as more frequent temperature records, flooding, and droughts. The effects of climate change are increasingly severe and globally very unevenly distributed. We must tackle the climate crisis by decarbonizing urgently. Climate Action (#SDG13) can be provided via substituting fossil fuels with renewable energies, increased energy efficiency and building climate neutral societies. With sufficient investments into climate solutions, we can ensure the transition to a low carbon economy becomes a reality and we meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
