Welcome to SwissClimmo: Location-Specific Climate Insights for Swiss Real-Estate

The climate of Switzerland is extremely varied: frigid, snowy winters in the high Alps; sweltering, stormy summers around the lakes of Ticino; and everything in between!

However, as the graph below shows, all regions are warming rapidly, and precipitation patterns are also expected to change.

That said, strong regional and seasonal differences in the magnitudes and rates of these changes are likely.

How does this concern real-estate?

Lending on a property or purchasing a property are generally long-term decisions involving considerable capital outlay.

As such, stakeholders on all sides may be interested in obtaining information to help answer questions like:

• What was the climate at a given property location like over recent decades?
• How (un)comfortable could the climate there be in 30 years’ time?
• Might continued climate change affect (either increase or decrease) property value or attractiveness?
• How much investment may be required in insulation, heating, and/or coooling solutions, both now and in the future?
