Educational and research projects in Switzerland are employing various methods to address climate change. The SolarButterfly project in Adelboden uses a solar-powered vehicle to provide interactive lessons on solar history and climate solutions to students in grades 3 through 9.

Simultaneously, the ‘Klimagarten 2085’ project at Kantonsschule Zug utilizes greenhouses to simulate future temperature increases of +2-3 °C and +4-6 °C. This research examines the impact of warming on local ecosystems, specifically studying nettle growth, butterfly larvae, wildflower biodiversity, duckweed, and grass frog tadpoles. The initiative combines scientific experimentation with artistic expression to foster reflective learning regarding global environmental issues and personal sustainability decisions.
