ABOUT SUSTAINABLE CITY TOURS
Sustainability means leaving the world in the same or improved condition we received it for future generations. This includes the economy, environmental, and social elements in society.
The Problem
Sustainability is fragmented—and people don’t know how to engage.
Fragmented initiatives
Many impactful sustainability projects operate in isolation. This limits collaboration and reduces their overall impact.​
Low public awareness
Local sustainability efforts often go unnoticed. As a result, people miss out on innovative solutions happening right in their communities.​
Distance from global goals
Sustainability is often perceived as abstract and overwhelming. This disconnect makes it hard for individuals to see how their actions contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals—or where to even begin.

Why SCT
We don’t just talk about sustainability—we work with it.
SCT is uniquely positioned to guide this journey. We are actively involved in Basel’s sustainability landscape and work directly with the businesses and initiatives featured in our tours. We’ve interviewed local project leaders, learned their stories firsthand, and translated their work into clear, relatable experiences.
By highlighting UN Sustainable Development Goals in concrete, local actions, we empower people to participate meaningfully. Through interactive elements like quizzes and activities, our tours make sustainability engaging, accessible, and even fun—because real change starts with understanding and motivation.​​
Our Solution
We make sustainability visible, local, and actionable.​
At SCT, we understand the frustration of disconnected sustainability initiatives and low public awareness—because we’ve experienced it ourselves. We saw that many people, including visitors interested in sustainable travel, want to contribute but simply don’t know what exists around them.​​That’s why we created themed sustainability tours that connect local projects, people, and places. Our tours spotlight hidden initiatives, strengthen community engagement, and turn sustainability from a concept into a lived experience—while showcasing what makes Basel unique.
