I cover climate change and energy through reportages, articles, interviews and in-depth reports. I am interested in the impacts of global warming on everyday life and solutions for an emission-free planet.
Passionate about travel and discovery, I studied biology and other natural sciences. I have been a journalist for SWI swissinfo.ch for more than 20 years.

This year we could exceed the symbolic threshold of 1.5°C of global warming for the first time. Here are the possible consequences for life on the planet.
Switzerland spends big on flood protection – but is it enough?
This content was published on
Protecting against floods is an expensive undertaking, but a recent analysis shows it is far more cost-effective than rebuilding after natural disasters.
Predicting the climate of the future with 1.2 million-year-old ice
This content was published on
Scientists have successfully extracted one of the world's oldest ice samples from deep within Antarctica. They hope the ancient ice will reveal more about Earth’s climate history and how to better predict future climate change.
Secrets revealed by melting Swiss glaciers could eat plastic and cure disease

Melting glaciers release largely unknown bacteria and viruses. These microorganisms could help us tackle some major global problems, from plastic pollution to antibiotic resistance.
What is your country doing to protect you from the impacts of climate change?
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Switzerland violated its citizens’ fundamental rights by not taking enough climate action. Do you think your right to a healthy environment is being respected?
Price, quality, origin: which factors influence whether you buy imported products?
By importing certain products, consumers in rich countries contribute to deforestation in tropical regions. Is it possible to consume while still respecting the environment? Let us know what you think in the comments below. From the article How consumers in rich countries drive global deforestation
Train vs plane: would you take a direct train between London and Geneva?
Eurostar is planning to run direct trains from Britain to Germany and Switzerland from the early 2030s. Would you favour the train over the plane? If not, why not?
