The Swiss government apparently found the climate club concept too vague for a long time. Now she's changing her mind - and joining the alliance. The purpose of the alliance is for the G7 members and other countries to set goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including their measurement and recording. Switzerland joins the climate protection efforts of the seven largest industrialised countries. The Swiss government decided on Friday to join the so-called G7 climate club. The “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” first reported on the decision. The country had hesitated to join the climate club for more than a year. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) launched this at the G7 summit in June 2022 at Elmau Castle. The purpose of the alliance is for the G7 members and other countries to set goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including their measurement and recording. Essentially, it's about uniting as many countries as possible to agree on common paths to climate neutrality by 2050. The members should coordinate with each other on a selection of climate policy instruments. https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/international/klimaneutralitaet-die-schweiz-tritt-dem-klimaklub-der-g7-industriestaaten-bei/29407426.html
