Why myclimate: If we want to ensure a secure future for ourselves and the generations to come, we have to find ways on how to make economy and ecology compatible and mutual supportive. New innovative ideas need to be developed, lest we do not loose competitiveness. The actual global financial and economic crisis makes visible that sustainable investments will pay back, both in a short and a long term. myclimate stands for such a development. It contributes to the new Green deal that is now propagated worldwide. As such, it develops the appropriate know-how for Switzerland and abroad.
