Political attention has increasingly focused on limiting warming to 2êC. However, to date the only mitigation commitments accompanying this target are the so-called Copenhagen pledges, and these pledges appear to be inconsistent with the 2êC objective. Diverging opinions on whether this inconsistency can or should be resolved have been expressed. This paper clarifies the alternative assumptions underlying these diverging view points and explicits their implications. It first gives simple visualizations of the challenge posed by the 2êC target. It then proposes a decision tree, linking different beliefs on climate change, the achievability of different policies, and current international policy dynamics to various options to move forward on climate change.

Since the industrialization in the 19th century, Switzerland has been an attractive destination for immigrants. In 2009, foreign residents constituted 22.9 percent of the total population. Switzerland was thus host to more foreigners than many other European countries. Despite these facts, Switzerland has - for a long time - denied to be a country of immigration. Coherent integration policies have therefore been designed only in recent years. While conditions for immigration have been eased for EU citizens since the 1990s, immigration of third country citizens is currently limited to the highly qualified and family reunification.
