The international scientific community has come to the conclusion that
human activities are a non-negligible factor influencing the global
climate. The leading Swiss climate researchers are supporting this
statement. What is the impact of climate change in Switzerland? After
six years of scientific research, the results of the National Research
Programme "Climate Change and Natural Hazards"(NFP 31) are available
now. They contribute to a better understanding of the complex nature of
the global climate and its specific alpine aspects.
