Patrick Odier: ‘Switzerland cannot hide behind neutrality’

In a recent interview with the Financial Times, Patrick Odier, President of Building Bridges, explains how we must address the looming social crises that decorbanization and the transition of our economic system are creating for vulnerable groups and populations.

We have to talk urgently about what we can do to mitigate the effects of the transition on vulnerable economic and social groups in our own societies — just like we do about the global south. Our social fabric depends on it — it is going to be the major issue facing us in the coming years.
