Building Resilience to Extreme Weather in Switzerland
How can data and technology enable the Swiss society to build resiliency against the new reality of extreme weather events like heatwaves, and its consequences like glacier collapses?
Problem
The recent tragedy of glacier collapse in Blatten and the increasing frequency of heatwaves underscore the vulnerabilities in the Swiss Alps and beyond. With climate change accelerating the frequency and intensity of extreme events, these developments emphasize the need for more dynamic, data-driven solutions to enhance the resilience of Swiss society against evolving climate risks.
