ContactProject Description
Swiss Economics has developed a tool for the economic assessment of climate measures and strategies on behalf of the Office of Economic Affairs and Labour (AWA) of the Canton of Zurich. The tool can be applied to different types of climate measures and strategies and allows a timely assessment that covers the relevant economic aspects. It serves as a basis for a differentiated discussion of proposed measures, which is an important prerequisite for the efficient use of funds to adapt to climate change and reduce greenhouse gases.
