Sustainable Switzerland and Swiss Museum of Transport launch partnership
Sustainable Switzerland, the NZZ's sustainability initiative, has entered into a partnership with the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne. Together with other partners, they will open the "Sustainability Dialogue" area as part of the "Experience Energy!" exhibition on October 18, 2024. The aim is to provide the general public with fact-based information about sustainability and the energy transition.
Since April 2023, the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne has been presenting the interactive permanent exhibition "Experience Energy!" in the "House of Energy". This promotes scientific, political and social dialog on the topic of energy. Since October 18, 2024, the "Sustainability Dialogue" area has expanded this exhibition. It was developed jointly by Sustainable Switzerland and the Swiss Museum of Transport in collaboration with scientific partners.
The focus is on the "Emission Explorer", an interactive tool with which visitors can determine their personal carbon footprint by means of questions and self-assessments. The Explorer was developed together with the "Energy Science for Tomorrow" (ES4T) initiative, in which ETH Zurich, EPFL Lausanne, the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and Empa are involved. The experience is complemented by Sustainable Switzerland's interactive sustainability dialog. This provides tips for more sustainability in everyday life and invites visitors to express their opinions on key issues of sustainable development. The dialog is rounded off with exciting and surprising facts on the five topics of mobility, flying, consumption, nutrition and living.
Martin Bütikofer, Director of the Swiss Museum of Transport, says: "Sustainable Switzerland and the Swiss Museum of Transport are pursuing the same goal: to educate the general public about sustainability and the energy transition in an objective and fact-based manner. The interactive exhibition makes these topics tangible and helps to raise awareness."
Felix Graf, CEO of NZZ, adds: "Sustainable Switzerland promotes sustainable developments, puts relevant topics and pressing issues on the agenda and highlights practical solutions. The partnership with the Swiss Museum of Transport reinforces these efforts by facilitating an important transfer of knowledge and motivating the public to actively and playfully engage with the challenges of the future."
