Glacier melt - The glacier initiative

The Swiss Climate Protection Association (https://gletscher-initiative.ch/) has been founded the 25th August 2018 to make sure that Switzerland has an effective and fair climate policy. The aim is, to reduce greenhouse gases to zero until 2050 - like the Federal Counsil of Switzerland decided (https://www.bafu.admin.ch/bafu/de/home/themen/klima/fachinformationen/emissionsverminderung/verminderungsziele/ziel-2050.html).

On the 10th May 2019, it is being carried out "The glacier initiative" to build a citizens' movement on and below the public relations work for a view of the necessary information about the damage.

After having reached the necessary 100'000 votes, the initiative had been sent to the Federal Counsil on the 27th of November 2019.

On the 2 September 2020, The Federal Counsil of Switzerland submitted a direct counter-draft.

We expect the message of the Federal Counsil of Switzerland until the 31th August 2021.

A year or two later it should start the "Parlamental phase".

Last but not least, at the end of 2022 until 2024 we will have the voting about the glacier initiative.

In a next step, we try to connect our project with the work of the Association to exchange each other on the damage about glacier melt.
