Swiss CO2 emissions: Small country, big footprint https://perma.cc/3D55-ERQN
BAFU spricht Klartext: Fussabdruck der Schweiz muss zwei Drittel kleiner werden https://perma.cc/93PX-NSK4
Wege zur weiteren Verringerung der Umweltbelastung durch die Schweiz https://perma.cc/ZPC5-3KRU
Switzerland’s large footprint is partly driven by all the goods it imports. If emissions generated via imports are counted, the footprint of each resident of Switzerland is 14 tonnes of CO2 per year. In comparison, the global average is six tonnes https://perma.cc/3D55-ERQN
A 2022 study calculates that Switzerland is responsible for 2-3% of global carbon emissions – putting it on a par with countries like Indonesia, Japan and Brazil https://perma.cc/3D55-ERQN
Global gesehen verbraucht die Menschheit die Ressourcen von rund 1,75 Erden (Stand 2022), wir Schweizerinnen und Schweizer sogar die von 2,8 Erden https://perma.cc/A4CD-QRNS

Each person living in Switzerland throws away on average over 700kg of waste per year – a lot more than most people in the world. New Zealanders (781kg), Danes (771kg), Norwegians (736kg), Colombia (240kg).
40% dieser Emissionen kommen aus dem Materialbereich (vor allem Zement), 5 bis 20% aus dem Nahrungsmittelbereich und 3 bis 11% aus dem Industriesektor.
Die Zement-Herstellung ist einer der emissions- intensivsten Industrieprozesse. Deshalb ist der Klimaschaden, der durch die Verwendung von Zement entsteht, beträchtlich 8 % der globalen Treibhausgasemissionen.
Die Herstellung von Zement ist energieintensiv https://perma.cc/GS7A-4WYL

«Geschichte Schweiz» im Landesmuseum Zürich
Der WWF fordert, dass die Schweiz auf die Wissenschaft hört. Die Schweiz muss bis spätestens 2040 sämtliche Treibhausgasemissionen so stark wie möglich reduzieren und den Rest durch sogenannte Negativemissionen ausgleichen (netto null). Bis 2030 muss sie ihre Inlandemissionen halbieren.
Treibhauseffekt - Wie Treibhausgase unser Klima verändern https://perma.cc/57CX-FDFD
Le WWF demande que la Suisse écoute la communauté scientifique. Elle doit réduire autant que possible toutes ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre d’ici 2040 au plus tard et compenser le reste par des émissions dites négatives (zéro net). Elle doit diviser ses émissions par deux d’ici 2030.

Il WWF chiede alla Confederazione di ascoltare la scienza. La Svizzera deve ridurre il più possibile tutte le emissioni di gas serra entro il 2040 e compensare il resto con le cosiddette emissioni negative (zero netto); le emissioni interne devono essere dimezzate entro il 2030.

Switzerland and the Arctic: Closer Than You Think by Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and ETH Zurich
The Arctic hosts about 75 mammals, more than 200 birds and over 3000 insect species.
The Arctic land and sea boast an estimated 22% of global oil and 30% of gas reserves.
Greenland lost about 4,000 billion tonnes of ice since 1992 caused the mean sea level to rise by about 1 centimetre.
It is estimated that more than half of Russia’s oil and gas reserves lies in the Arctic region18 and the country plans to increase their extraction.
While Canada put exploration of Arctic oil reserves on hold, Norway and the United States also ramped up their activities related to the extraction of Arctic oil.
Several severe problems are linked to resource extraction. First, the depletion and burning of oil and gas causes new greenhouse gas emissions. The 6th IPCC report clearly states that the global community has to stop burning fossil fuels.
Second, and as a consequence, global warming and related developments such as ocean acidification are considered the biggest threat to Arctic biodiversity.
Finally, the drillings are - still - subject to high risk due to the difficult climatic conditions for work and rescue operations. The ecosystem may not be able to recover at all or only slowly in case of an oil spill.
The recent oil spill disaster in June 2020 in Norilsk, Russia, exemplifies the high costs of disasters in Arctic regions. Clean-up efforts may take years and cost up to USD 1.5 billion
First, given the Swiss expertise on alpine and glacial environments, Switzerland could help establish a new working group in the Arctic Council to deal with the sustainable development of infrastructure.
Switzerland could - if geopolitical tensions and disputes increase - advocate for the arrangement of a regional security order through the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Switzerland could offer its Good Offices to facilitate the peaceful resolution of disputes in the Arctic @MissionWillowProject
