Flyer crisis winter 22/23

22.11.22 - Crisis winter 22/23: Gas, electricity, costs - What's in store for us? (in German)

The three current crises in gas, electricity and energy prices are of concern to energy suppliers and consumers. The federal government and the cantons assess the energy crisis as a major risk for Switzerland, especially towards the end of winter, with potentially serious consequences for the economy and society. But how realistic are worst-case scenarios really? What is the background to the developments? What options are there for Switzerland in dealing with the crises?
In the event "Krisenwinter 22/23: Gas, Strom, Kosten – Was kommt auf uns zu?” organized by the Sustainable Future research network and the Fachstelle Nachhaltigkeit of the University of Basel, we will shed light on and discuss these questions from the perspective of science and practice.

The event takes place at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel (Spitalstrasse 41, 4056 Basel), room U1.131, from 17:00 to 19:30 and is followed by an Apéro.

21.11.22 - Alpine value landscapes and energy infrastructures

Previously largely undeveloped mountain areas are the focus of infrastructure development for the energy transition. Due to their remoteness, alpine open spaces are hardly present in public awareness. In the context of the energy transition, these very open spaces are becoming exploitable resources - with potentially serious consequences for alpine landscapes.

Registration until November 14, 2022
