Global warming and financing

Newsletter "Multilateral Accent" published by SDC and SECO

The Newsletter provides information about current events within the multilateral organisations and explains in detail Switzerland's role and their relevance. The current issue focuses on the topic of global warming with articles about the price on climate, zero CO2 emissions - the challenge of a fourth industrial revolution and mitigation / adaptation, two sides of the same coin.

SDC and SECO rallied in favour of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing the resilience & adaptive capacities of vulnerable populations as part of the international development cooperation. Sustainable development and the reduction of poverty and global risks alike remain the overarching goal. For its climate related programming, Switzerland engages with diverse partners – from partner countries, the private sector, civil society and universities. It has developed a global programme on climate change. A key pillar is the close cooperation with selected multilateral partners, particularly the multilateral development banks and the newly established Green Climate Fund.
