Acting for climate – from committments on paper to actions in parks

Acting for climate – from committments on paper to actions in parks

Facing the growing challenges of climate change, the Swiss Park Network has adopted a joint Climate Mission Statement to strengthen climate actions and adaptation across its 20 Regional Nature Parks.

This shared commitment sets a clear direction for how parks can protect biodiversity, support local communities, and act as practical models of sustainability in their regions. In our new case study, you can read more about the joint development of the Climate Mission Statement.

One inspiring climate mitigation action from the Swiss Park Network is the Clientis Randenbus in the Regional Nature Park Schaffhausen, a local mobility project that reduces car traffic in the Randen recreation area and promotes sustainable tourism. Born from cooperation between farmers, municipalities, and transport services, the Randenbus offers a simple yet effective example of how climate goals can be translated into everyday practice.
