Because, in order to avert serious climate change, we need role models today, and in the near future, that lead the way and show how our society can succeed in making the transition to a more sustainable lifestyle. They include the public administration and public enterprises. They perform important functions in our country and can inspire other organisations to take similar measures. In the new phase, the actors are committing to further increase their energy efficiency over the next ten years, to meet 100% of their power consumption with renewable Matthias Ramsauer Secretary General energy sources and to promote their own Federal Department of the Environ- production of renewable energy.

The participating actors are planning and coordinating some of their measures within the framework of the Exemplary Energy and Climate initiative.

Climate initiative comprises 39 joint measures in three action areas plus a series of specific measures determined by each actor individually. 6 Major actors Some very different public actors have committed to the Exemplary Energy and Climate initiative: – The Confederation is represented by the Civil Federal Administration and the Feder- al Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport DDPS. – Of the parastatal enterprises, Swiss Post, SBB, Skyguide, Suva and Swisscom have signed up. The Confederation sets these organisations strategic objectives, which in some cases also concern energy targets or require at least a sustainable corporate strategy. – The two Federal Institutes of Technology and four research institutes are grouped together in the ETH Domain. Their purpose is specified in the ETH Act and is translated into practice by following the Federal Council’s strategic objectives for the ETH Domain. – With Genève Aéroport and the Services Industriels de Genève (SIG), two cantonal enterprises are now also participating in the initiative. Discussions are underway with further actors.
