About us

Climate change, natural hazards and environmental challenges are major threats to progress towards sustainable development and may jeopardise the work and achievements of development cooperation. Poor and vulnerable communities are particularly exposed to these threats, and ensuring environmentally sound and sustainable human and economic development that is resilient to climate change and natural hazards for the benefit of present and future populations is therefore one of the four objectives of Switzerland’s International Cooperation Strategy 2025–28.
