Record-breaking sediment core may help predict Antarctic ice loss
An international research team has recovered the longest sediment core ever drilled from beneath an ice sheet. The core preserves evidence of climate changes spanning millions of years and will help improve predictions of how the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may respond to ongoing global warming.

NCCR Clim+: New Centre of Competence in Research
NCCR CLIM+ and the new Center for Climate Extremes and Resilience in Swiss Society (CERESS) will unite expertise from both the natural and social sciences through truly innovative inter- and transdisciplinary research. Together, NCCR CLIM+ and CERESS will inform Swiss policymakers and the public about physical climate risks and develop adaptation solutions that account for societal trade-offs and co-benefits across key sectors. With its unique research consortium, NCCR CLIM+ will support Switzerland's effective transformation towards a more resilient and safer future.

Applications: Adaptation to climate change funding programme – Adapt+
The risks posed by climate change are increasing. What does this mean for Switzerland? And how can we face these challenges, find solutions and take action? To do this, the Confederation has launched the Adapt+ funding programme to promote measures for adapting to climate change. Under the leadership of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), the Confederation is therefore supporting the implementation of specific adaptation measures. The application window is from the 29. January until the 31. March 2026.
