The Swiss canton of Wallis is poised to vote on a new climate law that seeks to achieve climate neutrality by 2040, a decade ahead of the rest of Switzerland. If approved, the legislation would also establish a climate fund of up to 100 million Swiss francs for various projects. Supporters emphasize the urgency for action, especially following recent extreme weather events, while opponents argue the law is unnecessary and unrealistic, highlighting political divides within the canton.
