1.31. In January 2021, the Government unveiled its long term policy strategy on climate change to be carbon neutral by 2050. It notably aims at reducing carbon emissions along entire value chains in Switzerland but also taking into consideration goods and services imported, applying the principle of circular economy to the extent possible [86]. Three quarters of the total Switzerland carbon footprint is created abroad. The Government thus promotes sustainability provisions in free trade agreements. After the rejection of the revised CO2 Act by popular vote in 2021, the Government submitted a new proposal on 17 December 2021 to meet the objectives of its long term climate strategy (Section 4.2.2.1.2.1).
