                                                                                        Whether at the development policy level in Switzerland or as part of our projects in the countries we support: with our campaigns and reports on agroecology, gender equality and trade in raw materials, we try to initiate sustainable change. Here you will find current articles, press releases and the latest issues of our magazine – for donors, supporters and all those who would like to learn more about our work.

                                                                                          30.03.2023 | Many refineries hide behind business secrecy when questioned about the origin of the gold they process. But SWISSAID managed to uncover more than 140 business relationships between African industrial gold mines and refineries. Its report on the topic involved meticulous documentary work and is a plea for more transparency.

                                                                                        • IPCC report: The world must act – now

                                                                                          The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change calls for immediate action. It underlines that climate risks and their impacts are occurring sooner and are greater than previously assumed. The 1.5 degree target can hardly be achieved if no effective measures and decisions are taken.

                                                                                        • Writing history, sowing perspectives

And a long look into the future: The challenges are enormous. That is precisely why we need passion, knowledge and a lot of practical experience.
