Sustainable pathways towards net zero Switzerland

SPEED2ZERO is a Joint Initiative of Switzerland’s leading institutions in environmental research and applications. The consortium has members from ETH Zürich, WSL, EPFL, Eawag,  PSI, Empa, and SDSC. The project is supported by the ETH Board. 

 

It was created to provide scientific insights, scenarios and tools to support Switzerland in moving towards net-zero emissions, providing a resilient energy infrastructure while allowing for the country’s biodiversity to regain some of its richness.

 

It does so through continuous dialogue with stakeholders, connecting research with policymakers and practice to provide evidence-based findings that help with handling some of the underlying trade-offs.

Summary of the results

The joint initiative SPEED2ZERO will be completed at the end of 2026. The SPEED2ZERO summary brings together the key scientific findings and derives evidence-based recommendations from them.

 

Five key questions provide guidance and make the main findings from the various areas of research accessible.
