How global warming shapes conflict and cooperation
Armed conflicts are on the rise worldwide. What role does climate change play in these conflicts, and how do wars and violence affect climate change, as well as societies’ ability to cope with climate impacts? We spoke with Vally Koubi, Professor at the University of Bern and ETH Zurich, whose research focuses on the social consequences of climate change.

Das Ozon-Problem ist noch nicht gelöst
Die Hitzewelle im Juni hat es deutlich gemacht: Trotz besserer Luftqualität wird der Ozon-Grenzwert im Sommer am Boden regelmässig überschritten. Sonniges und trockenes Wetter, wie es wegen des Klimawandels in der Schweiz häufiger wird, verstärkt die Belastung. Und das Ozonloch in der Stratosphäre schliesst sich trotz des Verbots von Fluorchlorkohlenwasserstoffen Ende der 1980er Jahre nur langsam. Um die negativen Auswirkungen auf Gesundheit, Vegetation und Klima zu verringern, sind weiterhin Massnahmen und eine globale Überwachung nötig, wie ein neues Faktenblatt der Akademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz aufzeigt.

IPPC: Call for experts to review the First Order Draft of Working Group I contribution to the Seventh Assessment Report
The First Order Draft (FOD) of the Working Group I contribution to the IPCC Seventh Assessment Report (AR7) will soon be open for review. The expert review of the First Order Draft will take place from 10 August to 2 October 2026 midnight (GMT+2).
Ozone – A simple molecule with enduring impact on climate, air quality and health
Despite political efforts, the recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer is progressing only slowly, and ground-level concentrations regularly exceed regulatory limits. Further measures are needed to reduce the negative impacts on health, vegetation and climate. Global monitoring remains necessary. Switzerland contributes with the World’s longest record of ozone observations that began 100 years ago in Arosa on 23 July 1926 and continue now in Davos.

Image: David JezdimirovicThe Environment Shapes Security
Global environmental changes such as climate change, biodiversity loss and the increasing pollution of ecosystems are key security risks. They endanger people, societal stability, economic performance and the ability of states to act. It is therefore imperative that these issues be given priority in both national and international security strategies.
