Recently, an extraordinary event in Zurich stirred emotions and sparked widespread speculation both in Switzerland and abroad. A life-sized whale appeared on the shores of Lake Zurich, leading many to wonder how a real whale could possibly end up in a landlocked country. The installation, created by the Belgian art collective Captain Boomer, was so convincing that some believed it was a genuine whale carcass. This installation was designed to provoke thought about the environmental impact of human activities and the need for action.
At Alpine International Subsidies, we see this powerful image as a call to action. The whale represents the urgent need to address our environmental footprint, particularly in reducing CO2 emissions. In 2023, the EU allocated over €40 billion to subsidies focused on CO2 reduction, with plans to increase this amount in 2024 and 2025. Notably, EUsubsidies can co-finance up to 60% of project costs, providing significant support for businesses willing to make environmentally sustainable changes.
Switzerland has also made significant contributions to environmental protection. In 2023, the Swiss government spent approximately CHF 2.8 billion on various subsidies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and other environmental initiatives. This figure underscores the country’s commitment to combating climate change, even as a landlocked nation.
This whale installation is a stark reminder that even in regions like Switzerland, our actions have global consequences. The art piece emphasizes the need for awareness and innovation in combating climate change. For businesses, this means taking steps to reduce emissions, such as upgrading to electric vehicle fleets, adopting renewable energy sources, and implementing green technologies.
At Alpine International Subsidies, we specialize in helping entrepreneurs secure the EU funding necessary to make these changes. With the EU's significant financial commitment to CO2 reduction—€40 billion in 2023 and more expected in the coming years—there are ample opportunities to support your sustainability initiatives.
I encourage all business leaders to reflect on how their operations impact the environment. Whether it's reducing emissions, transitioning to renewable energy, or innovating in other ways, now is the time to act. Alpine International Subsidies is here to guide you through the process of obtaining EU subsidies to fund your green projects.
