Switzerland 2026
سوئیس
Switzerland (Schweiz, Suisse, Svizzera) enters 2027 with 9.13 million residents, and people aged 65 or over (about 1.81 million) now outnumber those under 20 (about 1.80 million). Its risks come from mountains and from water.

01 · Readings
Switzerland in six readings.
Six readings that frame the Switzerland baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.
02 · Sectors
Six sectors, one hexagon.
Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.

03 · Hazard exposure
The hazards this edition reads.
The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Scenario · SCN-CHE-DRT-01
Dry year with low reservoirs and low river flows
Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

04 · Couplings
How the sectors carry risk into each other.
The Switzerland matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core سامانهها. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.

Water: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Energy: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Food: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Health: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Biodiversity: 4 couplings out, 4 in. Infrastructure is not in the coupling matrix: none of the edition matrices types it, so it carries no value.

All 12 findings
| ID | ویراست | Sector or system | وضعیت | Statement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CLI-001 | سوئیس | CLI Climate forcing | □ گزارششده | Greenhouse-gas emissions were 40.1 MtCO₂e in 2024, 27.3% below 1990 and 22.3% below when land use is included; transport emitted 13.4 MtCO₂e and international aviation and maritime a further 5.5 MtCO₂e outside the 2030 target. |
| CLI-002 | سوئیس | CLI Climate forcing | □ گزارششده | The second contribution sets a cut of at least 65% by 2035 on 1990 as a 2031–2035 budget of 106.8 MtCO₂e, and the Climate and Innovation Act, adopted by 59.07% of voters in 2023, sets net zero by 2050. |
| ENE-003 | سوئیس | ENE انرژی | □ گزارششده | In 2025 hydropower supplied 55.5% of domestic electricity generation, nuclear power 27.2% and photovoltaics 11.8%, and final electricity consumption was 57,970 GWh. |
| ENE-004 | سوئیس | ENE انرژی | □ گزارششده | Hydropower output fell 22.5% in 2025 after a record 2024, and reservoirs stood at 46% in mid-July 2026, 16.4 points below the 20-year average; reservoirs can cover about 20% of winter-half demand. |
| WAT-005 | سوئیس | WAT آب | □ گزارششده | Between 1 April and 31 July 2026 about one-fifth of monitoring stations recorded their lowest level for the period since measurements began, and Lake Zurich reached its lowest level since 1951 on 19 August 2026. |
| FOO-006 | سوئیس | FOO غذا | □ گزارششده | The Federal Council offered CHF 54 million in interest-free operating loans to farm businesses after the 2026 drought, and the contribution text sets a goal that domestic production covers at least 50% of food needs. |
| CLI-007 | سوئیس | CLI Climate forcing | □ گزارششده | On 28 May 2025 the Birch Glacier collapsed under about 3 million m³ of rock debris, buried most of Blatten and caused one death; insured damage was put at CHF 255 million. |
| CLI-008 | سوئیس | CLI Climate forcing | □ گزارششده | Glaciers lost almost 3% of their volume in 2025 and about a quarter since 2015, and the contribution states that glaciers have lost over 65% of their volume since 1850. |
| HLT-009 | سوئیس | HLT سلامت | □ گزارششده | Heat-attributable deaths were 623 in June to August 2022, 542 in May to September 2023 and 326 in May to September 2024. |
| FIN-010 | سوئیس | FIN مالی | □ گزارششده | GDP grew 1.4% in 2025 and inflation was 0.2%, and the IMF assessed the debt brake as appropriate while noting that the shift to a low-carbon economy will raise spending needs. |
| BIO-011 | سوئیس | BIO تنوع زیستی | □ گزارششده | About a third of species and nearly half of habitat types are threatened, and 7% of forest area was protected by 2022 against a federal goal of 10% by 2030. |
| SYS-012 | سوئیس | SYS Systemic | ◎ Expert input | The leading compound pathway for 2027 testing is a dry year with low reservoirs and low river flows that cuts hydropower and raises winter import dependence at the same time as farm and forest stress. |
