Swiss Information Platform on Adaptation to Climate Change

Description

The Swiss Information Platform on Adaptation to Climate Change (BAFU Informationsplattform zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel), launched in March 2012, was developed as part of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) website. Its development was driven by the Swiss Federal Council Mandate, which was linked to the set-up of the National Adaptation Strategy of Switzerland. The platform aims at supporting the decision-making on federal, subnational (cantonal) and municipal level, raising awareness of the main target audience and empowering the stakeholders to take adaptation action. For this purpose, the platform provides the most relevant information on climate change adaptation in Switzerland. This includes information about the National Adaptation Strategy; the policies and initiatives taking place at the cantonal and sectoral level; fields of action, goals and measures implemented by the Federal Offices; information on the national funding programme for cantons, regions, municipalities; further adaptation activities such as research programmes, projects, measures; publications and other news.
