How will climate change alter Switzerland’s landscape? In this immersive article, the reader travels along the Aare River in the year 2075 to explore how rising temperatures affect water supply and demand.

A 3D map guides the journey, with satellite imagery altered based on scientific data to show how the landscape might look 50 years from now. At two locations—one in the Alps and one in a forest—the reader dives down to ground level: they peer into a new lake where a glacier once stood and walk along the ridge of a transformed forest. Data visualizations and geographic overlays on the map provide scientific context to the journey. The article reveals how much might change—and how early adaptation and decisive action could still make our future livable.
