Swiss voters approve net-zero climate 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.
