Climate & Heat in Switzerland: Swiss NGOs have launched the “No 50°C summers!” alliance, warning that this year’s drought and extreme temperatures are a new reality. They call for stronger heatwave protection for vulnerable people, more green spaces in towns, and building upgrades—especially schools and public facilities—plus workplace health rules and support for farmers hit by crop losses. Alpine Risk: A rockslide threat above Kandersteg is linked to thawing permafrost and glacier dynamics; authorities are not evacuating yet but have plans in place if conditions worsen. Biodiversity Under Pressure: Wild honey bees have been reclassified as “critically endangered,” with habitat loss blamed—fewer old trees with hollows, less food, and fewer near-natural structures. Pollution & Food/Water Impacts: Swissinfo reports on how drought is affecting water and prices, while broader coverage highlights Europe’s heatwave-driven insurance and economic gaps. Nature & Wildlife Research: New imaging work explains how narwhal tusks form their spiral structure across scales, using advanced X-ray methods—useful for understanding animal materials and resilience. EU/Supply Chain Biosecurity: A Japanese beetle alert follows a dead insect found in an Italian shipment; the pest is already in parts of Switzerland and is considered highly harmful to plants and nature. Sustainable Food Trade: An EU soy monitor reports continued growth in certified, responsible deforestation- and conversion-free sourcing, with Switzerland among countries outperforming those without commitments.
