Embassy of Switzerland in Bangladesh

Did you know Switzerland is so well connected by train you can travel across the entire country in just a few hours? 🚆🇨🇭
In around 4 hours, you can travel from Geneva to St. Gallen by train, crossing Switzerland from west to east through lakes, vineyards, mountains and cow-filled fields along the way. 🐄
Thanks to its dense network, travelling across Switzerland by train is simple and efficient. One of the easiest ways to explore the country!

Switzerland ranks as one of the least polluted countries in the world, and it did not get there by chance. 🌿 The Federal Clean Air Ordinance, in force since 1986, sets strict limits on emissions from transport, agriculture, and industry, and air quality is continuously monitored across 16 national stations. Switzerland holds 6% of Europe's freshwater reserves and delivers tap water so clean that 40% of it requires no treatment before reaching consumers, making environmental protection not just a national aspiration but a legal standard that has been built and enforced for decades.

Ms. Lisa Greminger, Regional Advisor – Migration and Protection at the Embassy, spoke at a dissemination workshop organized by RMMRU on climate-related displacement and migration in urban 🇧🇩.
She highlighted the importance of inclusive urban planning, decent livelihoods, and gender-responsive support systems, ensuring that migration can become a pathway to resilience, dignity, and opportunity.
As climate-related mobility continues to shape urban futures, collaboration and evidence-based solutions remain key.

The Embassy is partnering with the Human Rights Support Society-HRSS for the Human Rights Olympiad 2026, which will help school students from four divisions better understand what rights they hold and how to claim them. Mr. Alberto Giovanetti, Counsellor and Head of Political, Economic and Communication Affairs of the Embassy, and Mr. Ijajul Islam, Executive Director of HRSS, signed the agreement last week. Selection rounds of the Olympiad will take place in Rangpur, Rajshahi, Khulna and Dhaka in July, followed by a final round in Dhaka in August.

Advances in satellite technology are transforming how we monitor the atmosphere and anticipate extreme weather events. With the European Space Agency’s MTG satellite and Swiss-developed precision mechanisms by CSEM, scientists can observe atmospheric changes with greater accuracy and stability.⛈🌪
These improvements support earlier warnings and more effective responses to extreme weather.
