The goal remains ambitious: the conclusion is that Switzerland should no longer emit greenhouse gases by 2050. The Federal Council decided on this net zero goal in 2019. This morning, the Minister of the Environment, Simonetta Sommaruga (60), presented the corresponding ‘Swiss long-term climate strategy’.
The strategy contains the guidelines for climate policy until 2050. At the same time, it establishes goals for the different sectors. The strategy is linked to the measures and objectives of the revised CO2-Act. Sommaruga has always emphasized that the new law is also crucial to achieving the goal of net zero. The law will cut greenhouse gases in half by 2030 and put Switzerland on track towards the 2050 climate target.
Fierce resistance from right and left
But of all things against the central CO2– The law stirs up bitter resistance. The necessary signatures for the referendum have already been collected. This means that the electorate will decide on the proposal this year. Opponents of the law note in particular the rise in oil and gasoline prices. «The new CO2– The law increases the price of gasoline and diesel by 12 cents a liter, ”the committee warns.
In addition, a committee made up of French climate strikers collects signatures for the referendum. The present CO2-The law is not close enough to stop global warming, so the tenor. The climate strikers will hardly do it on their own, because the camp of the green left is practically united behind the new law.
The federal councilor of the SP, Sommaruga, will have to impose herself against this “impious alliance”. This morning at 9:30 a.m. he will present the climate strategy that has just been adopted by the entire government. BLICK reports live via ticker and on Blick TV. (dba)
