Switzerland faces significant challenges from climate change, including direct impacts like infrastructure damage and indirect effects through economic transitions. With this whitepaper, the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences (SATW) lays out on how to unfold the full potential of recent technological and methodological breakthroughs like artificial intelligence (AI), Earth observation data, open-science principles, and AI workflow integration to increase the resilience of the society against climate risks, to accelerate the net-zero transition, and to benefit from sustainability related opportunities.
The study provides recommendations for researchers, data scientists and engineers and is a call for action for decision makers in the Federal Government, funding organisations, universities, private entities, and the Swiss society. The statements made in this study have been crafted by around 50 domain experts from more than 30 Swiss academic, government, and industrial institutions.
