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.

Under the leadership of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), the Confederationt is therefore supporting the implementation of specific adaptation measures.

La Suisse ne se réchauffe pas partout de la même manière
Le réchauffement important observé en Suisse au cours des dernières décennies n'est pas le même à toutes les altitudes. De nouvelles analyses de MétéoSuisse montrent qu'en automne et en hiver, le Plateau s'est réchauffé plus que la moyenne en raison d'une diminution du brouillard, tandis qu'au printemps, les altitudes moyennes se sont réchauffées un peu plus en raison de la fonte plus rapide des neiges. Certaines séries de données climatiques largement utilisées ne reflètent pas suffisamment ces différences.
