Concept
How can the Swiss constitution be changed so that the climate crisis is taken seriously by politicians? Rolf Fehlbaum, founder of the Vitra Campus and the Vitra Design Museum, posed this question to himself and to a group of academics from different disciplines. In this book, they discuss together whether a new institution could be constitutionally anchored to promote long-term policy action to address the challenges of the 21st century. The participants include climate scientist Sonia I. Seneviratne, resource economist Lucas Bretschger, lawyers Charlotte Sieber-Gasser and Klaus Mathis, political scientist Wolf Linder, and politician and constitutional lawyer Markus Notter.
In addition, 31 Swiss voters represented in impressive photographs and interviews, from Basel to Lugano, from Geneva to Diepoldsau provide information on how they experience climate change, how they perceive Switzerland, and whether they feel represented in parliament. In this way—detached from polarizing political constellations—a snapshot of the political thinking of Swiss voters with very different educational backgrounds and of different ages has emerged.
