Swiss Public Lacks Confidence in Climate Policy Despite Concerns Over Global Warming
A recent SRG survey reveals that 67% of Swiss citizens consider climate change a significant issue requiring urgent action, yet nearly 70% doubt that Swiss politicians can effectively tackle the problem. While 72% believe Switzerland should reduce its own emissions regardless of other countries’ actions, skepticism towards technological solutions is rising, with only 37% optimistic about innovations mitigating climate change. The survey indicates a willingness among citizens to adopt lifestyle changes to protect the climate, but resistance remains around reducing meat consumption and single-family homes.
