On Wednesday, the Swiss government gave the green light to this new target under the Paris Agreement.
Greenhouse gas emissions are set to be cut by an average of 59% between 2031 and 2035, compared to 1990 levels, the Federal Council, Switzerland's executive body, announced on Wednesday. This target aligns with the Climate and Innovation Act's reduction path and will be achieved mainly through domestic measures.
The Paris Agreement aims to cap global warming at 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, the statement added. It requires all countries to take concrete action to cut their greenhouse gas emissions.
