Swiss approve net-zero climate law
web.archive.org
Swiss voters have backed a new law to accelerate the country’s shift from fossil fuels to renewable energies and reach zero emissions by 2050.

It’s the first time that citizens have approved a net-zero law in a direct vote. In all, 59.1% of voters approved the government’s new climate and innovation law. The government and all major parties, except for the right-wing Swiss People’s Party, had called to vote in favour of the bill.

    It’s always 20-30 years in the future.

    In 2000, it was 2030.

    Or to put it differently: “Let the next generation deal with it.”

      Still waiting to see “reducing emission by 1/3 in 10 years”. I’m pretty sure that’s a must for achieving neutrality by 2050. Somehow, no politician talks about that idea.
