Swiss Climate Policy: Achievements and Future Challenges

This lecture covers the results obtained by Swiss climate policy since 2008, including an inventory of gas emissions and energy-related emissions. It also discusses the contribution of policies in other domains, such as demographic and economic decoupling, and the remaining tasks to be addressed, such as the importation of 'carbon-rich' products and the impact of existing and planned measures on CO2 emissions. The lecture delves into the instruments of the CO2 law, the impact of policies on CO2 emissions, and various measures like the CO tax, agricultural policy, and emission allowances. It concludes with a reflection on the challenges and objectives set by the Federal Council.
