With its extensive forests and timber industry, the canton of Uri has considerable potential to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and to become a climate-neutral region. Achieving this goal requires targeted efforts. To this end, the CCTP, in collaboration with the cantonal government of Uri and various stakeholders, is carrying out a research project focusing on this initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trees absorb CO2 as they grow and store carbon in their wood. Whether in forests or used in construction, wood serves as a natural carbon sink and plays a crucial role in helping Switzerland achieve climate neutrality and its net-zero goals by 2050. Uri’s government programme 2020-2024+ addresses this potential by focusing on optimising the local forest and timber industry to reduce atmospheric CO2. It also aims to initiate initiatives and processes that will have a lasting impact beyond the 2020-2024 legislative period.<\/p>\n\n\n

An integrated approach involving industry <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the basis of the aforementioned government programme 2020-2024+, the Cantonal Office for Forestry and Hunting has initiated an implementation strategy called „Wood Cycle Uri“. This project was launched with a future conference in March 2022. Representatives of the local forestry, timber construction, energy, furniture manufacturing, recycling and architecture industries discussed ideas and visions.\r\nOn this basis, implementation projects were developed in collaboration with the Uri Corporation and in dialogue with committed local stakeholders and industry representatives. Sonja Geier from the Competence Centre Typology & Planning in Architecture (CCTP) at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU) and Hans Rupli, a long-standing expert in the timber construction industry, have been instrumental in this development. At the same time, researchers at the CCTP are developing a novel approach to the complex interrelationships within the forest-wood value chain and society through the interdisciplinary research project „INNOwood<\/a>„.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inauguration of the „Holzkreislauf Uri“ was marked by a future conference held in March 2022. Representatives from various sectors, including the local forest, timber construction, energy industries, furniture manufacturing and recycling, as well as architects, participated in a discussion of ideas and visions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Im Zeichen der Klimadebatte erh\u00e4lt die CO2<\/sub>-Frage immer gr\u00f6ssere Bedeutung. Im Geb\u00e4udepark Schweiz und im Bauwesen sind die Dekarbonisierung des Geb\u00e4udeparks und die Substitution fossiler Energietr\u00e4ger und emissionsintensiver Baustoffe dabei vieldiskutierte Themen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Im Dokument \u00abStrategie und Regierungsprogramm 2020-2024+\u00bb beschreibt der Regierungsrat des Kantons Uri seine konkreten Legislaturziele 2020-2024. Gleichzeitig sollen mit diesem Programm auch Impulse gesetzt und Prozesse angestossen werden, die \u00fcber diese Legislaturperiode hinaus Wirkung entfalten. Eines der Schwerpunktthemen heisst \u00abKlimaneutrales, energieeffizientes und sicheres Uri\u00bb und darin wird folgende Zielsetzung formuliert (sinngem\u00e4ss): \u00ab[..]Erh\u00f6hung der Nutzung von Holz aus einheimischen W\u00e4ldern vermehrte Verwendung von einheimischem Holz als Baustoff und Energietr\u00e4ger\u00bb.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u00fcr die Erarbeitung einer breit abgest\u00fctzten Umsetzungsstrategie wurden von November 2021 bis M\u00e4rz 2022 in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Kompetenzzentrum f\u00fcr Typologie und Planung in Architektur (CCTP) die Grundlagen erarbeitet. Die Erarbeitung hat im Rahmen von einem politischen Workshop sowie einer Zukunftskonferenz stattgefunden. 25 Vertreterinnen und Vertretern aus der Wald-, Holzbau- und Energiewirtschaft, der M\u00f6belbau- und Recyclingbranche sowie Architekturplanung nahmen teil. Damit wurden die Herausforderungen verdichtet. Seit M\u00e4rz 2022 werden gemeinsam mit Vertretern aus der Verwaltung und Korporation Uri Konzepte f\u00fcr partizipative Arbeitsgruppen in folgenden Handlungsfeldern erarbeitet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
