Swiss Voters Overwhelmingly Approve New Climate Law Aimed at Achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2050

The law requires Switzerland to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy and reach net zero emissions within 30 years.
Environmentalists championed the law as necessary to combat climate change and save Switzerland's melting glaciers.
The populist Swiss People's Party opposed the law, arguing it would raise energy prices, but voters backed it by a large margin.
The law dedicates billions of dollars to aid the transition to green energy and support new technologies.
The victory represents a milestone in Switzerland's efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions and fight global warming.
