Switzerland ratified the Paris Agreement in October 2017, and in doing so made a legally-binding commitment to be Net Zero by 2050.
With Switzerland’s current policies, infrastructure and behaviours, and without any action taken, Switzerland would emit
during the period 2020-2050.
*MT CO2 eq. is the metric for reporting global warming potential from all greenhouse gases
To meet the obligations of the Paris agreement and keep the planet on track to not exceed 1.5°C warming compared to pre-industrial levels, Switzerland can only emit
between 2020-2050.
Switzerland must therefore reduce its emissions by
The emissions that have been calculated are from all sources of Switzerland’s activity as a country
And there are only a very limited number of sinks (natural CO2 absorbers like forests, peat lands, etc) within Switzerland to absorb the emissions that are generated
