General information and objectives

Established by the Swiss Federal Parliament on 1991 the Swiss National Foundation set up the Swiss Priority Programme Environment which is designed to
  • explore and help solve the urgent problems facing the environment on both a national and global level
  • strengthen cooperation in environmental research between universities, industry and administrative authorities
  • promote the praxis-oriented implementation of results in society, economy and politics

    During the second research period (1996-99), the Swiss Priority Programme (SPP) Environment is placing emphasis on:

  • Climate in Alpine Regions
  • Biodiversity
  • Society
  • Soil
  • Waste
  • Development and Environment

    Details to these "Integrated Projects" can be found under
    http://www.sppe.ch/en/schwerpunkte.html

    All research projects will aim to help introduce and support sustainable development in the economy and society (= sustainable activity). In maintaining the SPP Environment as part of its research policy, Switzerland is making its contribution to the follow-up process initiated by the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro.
