At Earth Action, we believe in the power of collaboration to drive meaningful change. Our recent work with the cantons of Valais, Vaud, Neuchâtel, and Jura highlights the importance of building on existing efforts to streamline carbon accounting practices and align with broader climate goals.
Complementing Established Coordination Efforts
The Swiss cantons have long recognized the importance of harmonizing their approaches to environmental footprinting. Regular discussions and meetings ensure the coordination of practices, allowing them to share insights and collectively shape climate strategies.
In this collaborative landscape, Earth Action brings an additional layer of expertise and tools to support these efforts. With our experience in carbon footprinting and life cycle assessments (LCA) across sectors like energy, industry, construction, and services, we offer a unique perspective that complements the authorities’ work.
“Our role is to complement the cantons’ coordinated efforts by providing tailored insights and practical tools that align with their strategies and goals.” – Christophe Baderscher, Program Manager at Earth Action.
Our Contribution to Cantonal Progress
In partnership with the cantons Earth Action supported:
- Comprehensive carbon accounting for state-level and territorial emissions.
- The development of customized data structures to meet cantonal needs and improve reporting consistency.
- User-friendly tools for monitoring emissions and assessing progress toward decarbonization.
This work fits seamlessly into the cantons’ existing frameworks, offering actionable data and practical solutions to enhance decision-making.
Local Expertise with a Broader Vision
Switzerland’s commitment to net-zero by 2050 requires not only coordinated efforts at the cantonal level but also alignment with international standards. Initiatives like the European Green Deal and global agreements such as the Paris Agreement underscore the value of harmonized environmental accounting practices.
By building on the strong foundation already established by Swiss cantons, Earth Action helps bridge the gap between local implementation and global best practices, ensuring that data-driven decisions are both practical and aligned with broader goals.
“Harmonized frameworks ensure that local climate actions contribute effectively to national and international targets. Switzerland’s cantons are setting a powerful example for coordinated climate action.” – Dr. Julien Boucher, founder and co-CEO of Earth Action.
