Climate Adaptation CityWe enable others to implement climate adaptation projects in St. Gallen through our practical handbook. It provides insights into lessons learned from hands-on experience, key stakeholders, and inspiration for future projects. With our experience in trying to transform underused urban spaces into vibrant community squares, fostering biodiversity, social interaction, and climate resilience, we collaborated with key stakeholders like city departments, Grünes Gallustal, and WWF St. Gallen to develop strategies and recommendations guiding future projects in greening, awareness, and infrastructure

MaCS FundPresent Challenge: Despite the promising ideas generated by MaCS students, they often face setbacks due to the high capital requirements. In response, a team of MaCS students came up with the idea of a MaCS Fund. The MaCS Fund operates as a direct donation model, propelling high-impact projects and cultivating an environment without constraints for groundbreaking climate solution ideas. With the MaCS Fund, MaCS students can turn green ambitions into action.
