On 2 June, the Geneva Council of State in corpore presented an upgraded climate plan. A 60% reduction (instead of 40) in greenhouse gas emissions is targeted by 2030, and carbon neutrality must be achieved by 2050.
This acceleration of the ecological transition was decided following the climate emergency declared in 2019. To achieve such objectives, several strategies have been put in place, such as promoting public transport and making greater use of renewable energies. It is all the more important to act now since the cost of inaction would amount to 1.5 billion a year by 2050.
