Verbote bei fossilen Brenn- und Treibstoffen längerfristig kaum vermeidbar
Der Gegenentwurf des Bundesrates zur «Gletscher-Initiative» setzt wichtige Leitplanken für den Weg der Schweiz in Richtung Klimaneutralität. Die Vorgaben genügen aber laut den Akademien der Wissenschaften Schweiz noch nicht. So enthält der Entwurf zwar einen linearen Absenkpfad für den Ausstoss von Treibhausgasen bis 2050.
Ein weitgehendes Verbot fossiler Brenn- und Treibstoffe schlägt der Bundesrat im Gegensatz zur Initiative nicht vor. Der Ausstieg aus fossilen Energien sei längerfristig aber kaum vermeidbar, wolle die Schweiz die Treibhausgasemissionen wirklich auf Netto Null senken, schreiben die Forschenden.

Advance care planning: New thematic page for healthcare professionals
Advance care planning (ACP) provides a framework for discussing future healthcare decisions, documenting patients’ preferences and ensuring that these are respected when needed. Together with the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS) is committed to further strengthening ACP in Switzerland. This is not only the responsibility of specialised professionals: all healthcare professionals can initiate conversations about future health situations and support patients through an ACP process. To facilitate this, SAMS has published a new thematic page for healthcare professionals.

Dal “Trendradar” all’aula scolastica: cosa si aspetta il mondo del lavoro dalla promozione delle discipline STEM
Due nuovi studi tracciano un quadro comune: il “Trendradar 2026” dell’Accademia Haufe descrive quali competenze richiederà il mondo del lavoro di domani. Il “Barometro delle nuove leve MINT Svizzera 2026” delle Accademie svizzere delle scienze mostra dove queste competenze vengono sviluppate – o, al contrario, dove non lo sono. Un confronto tra i due rapporti mette in luce perché la promozione delle discipline MINT non sia solo una questione educativa, ma anche una necessità economica.
