National Stakeholders Identification (Switzerland)

[GCRI]

Welcome to the National Stakeholders Identification Thread for Switzerland!
This thread identifies and maps key stakeholders across sectors to support climate action, disaster risk reduction (DRR), biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development efforts in Switzerland. We aim to engage relevant actors to mobilize climate finance and strengthen partnerships for the Global Risks Forum 2025 and other global frameworks, including the Santiago Network for Loss and Damage.

How You Can Contribute: Identify Stakeholders Across the Quintuple Helix Framework
1- Academia and Research: Universities, think tanks, and research institutions focusing on sustainability, climate policy, DRR, and biodiversity in Switzerland.
Example: Institutions like ETH Zurich, University of Geneva’s environmental research centers, and think tanks such as the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL).

2- Industry and Business: Corporations, startups, and financial institutions involved in renewable energy, green technologies, and climate finance.
Example: Renewable energy companies, green tech startups, financial institutions investing in sustainable projects, and corporations committed to reducing their carbon footprint.

3- Civil Society and NGOs: Non-profits, advocacy groups, and community organizations working on conservation, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development.
Example: NGOs like WWF Switzerland, Pro Natura, and local community groups involved in climate adaptation and conservation initiatives.

4- Government and Public Sector: National, cantonal, and municipal government agencies involved in climate policy, environmental regulations, and disaster management.
Example: Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), cantonal environmental offices, and local disaster risk management authorities.

5- Natural Environment: Organizations managing ecosystems, protected areas, and promoting biodiversity conservation across Switzerland.
Example: Swiss National Park management bodies, conservation organizations protecting alpine biodiversity, and reforestation initiatives.
