Impacts of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures on housing inequalities in Switzerland

ChatGPT said:

This presentation, delivered at the ENHR Annual Conference 2025, explores how climate change adaptation and mitigation measures – such as urban densification, energy refurbishments, and nature-based solutions – are impacting housing inequalities in Switzerland. While intended to enhance urban resilience and sustainability, these interventions often result in the demolition of affordable housing, displacement of low-income and elderly residents, and increased gentrification. The presentation raises critical questions about who truly benefits from densified and greened neighbourhoods, highlighting the need for more inclusive and socially just climate strategies.
