What climate-related risks will developing countries face in the future? What can they do themselves to strengthen their resilience and to reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions? As part of a long-standing partnership, INFRAS supports the Climate Change & Environment Network of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) with subject-related expertise and knowledge transfer.

Delivery delays and lower-quality imported goods, as well as softer demand for German exports from climate-sensitive regions of the world: in the future, the impact of global climate change will pose greater risks for German foreign trade, as a study commissioned by the German Federal Environment Agency shows.

Road traffic in Kenya is growing rapidly. As a result, greenhouse gas emissions are also rising. INFRAS has calculated how much CO₂ could be saved with four mitigation options in the transport sector. The greatest reduction potential would come from more efficient freight transport.

Detailed studies have been conducted on the direct economic impact that climate change will have on central European countries. However, a more important issue facing countries such as Switzerland and Germany, with their extensive global networks, is the additional impact that climate change will have in the future via foreign trade.

Increased fuel tax or levy, fuel subsidy removal: How do pricing measures in the transport sector influence greenhouse gas emissions? INFRAS developed a guidance that allows policymakers and practitioners to estimate the impacts of transport pricing policies – in particular with respect to developing countries.

In 2016, Liechtenstein's greenhouse gas emissions were 18 percent lower than in 1990. That is the conclusion of the current National Inventory Report, which Liechtenstein must produce annually as a member of the UN Climate Convention.

Around 30 per cent less PM_2.5 fine particulate matter was emitted in Switzerland in 2016 compared with 2005. The latest Informative Inventory Report on air pollutant emissions in Switzerland explains this trend, and describes in detail how the emissions are calculated.

As a member of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Switzerland must report its greenhouse gas emission levels on an annual basis. The latest report shows that, in 2016, they were just under ten percent lower than in 1990.

Greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector are to be cut sharply. How can this be achieved with the best outcome for the Swiss economy? INFRAS is currently working with ETH Zurich to develop a range of future scenarios for climate-neutral mobility. Greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector are to be cut sharply.
