Mapping the Swiss transition

Switzerland, like most developed economies, is targeting net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Thanks to several advantages, resulting from both previous policy decisions and geography, the country has the lowest carbon intensity (emissions per unit of GDP) of any developed country, and the third lowest globally. In its forthcoming whitepaper, the UBS Sustainability and Impact Institute (SII) will analyze the big question: where do we currently stand on the transition journey and what is the path ahead?

Building on the insights from the SII whitepaper, this panel will address:

• What is the state of decarbonization in different industry sectors and how does policy play a part?
• What are the overall challenges and opportunities in the different sectors?
• How is finance mobilizing capital towards real economy solutions in these sectors?
