Together for climate justice
We have to face the facts: Switzerland is part of the global climate problem. Measured by CO2 emissions per person, Switzerland is one of the most climate-damaging countries in the world. We industrialised nations are causing the climate crisis. But it is the poorest who suffer the most from the consequences. Millions of people worldwide are becoming even more vulnerable and are struggling for their existence. This is not fair.
Caritas Switzerland stands up for climate justice. Caritas cannot stop the climate change. But we can support the people living in the affected areas.

Caritas Schweiz
Caritas Switzerland prevents, alleviates and combats poverty in Switzerland and worldwide in around 20 countries.
Together with the network of Regional Caritas Organisations, Caritas Switzerland is actively engaged wherever people in wealthy Switzerland are affected by poverty: families, single parents, the unemployed, and the working poor. Caritas looks after asylum seekers and refugees and organises volunteer placements.
Globally, Caritas provides emergency relief in disasters and is actively involved in reconstruction work. With its projects in development cooperation, Caritas works in the areas of food security, water, climate change, disaster prevention, migration as well as education for children and adults.
Caritas Switzerland is an independent association with its head office in Lucerne. The aid agency is a member of the international Caritas network. This comprises 165 organisations worldwide.
