Switzerland faces greater climate change impacts than previously projected

Switzerland is warming faster than previously projected, with temperatures potentially rising significantly higher than global averages. New climate scenarios indicate Switzerland's temperature has already risen 2.9 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times, double the global average. This warming is expected to lead to more heatwaves, droughts, heavy rainfall, and less snow. These updated projections suggest a 10-15% increase in warming compared to previous 2018 climate scenarios for Switzerland.
