Collaboration of glaciers, torrential lavas, heat records in our lakes, cities and everywhere in Europe. Global warming directly threatens our health and our lifestyle. Despite these dramatic and blatant consequences of global warming, the bourgeois parties still refuse to act and consent to the investments necessary to protect the climate. Even today, in full wave of extreme heat, the competent committee of the Council of States rejected the initiative for a climate fund, as well as any counter-project. An irresponsible attitude that harms future generations.
The facts are there, indisputable: extreme weather events follow one another by intensifying. Despite this, the Environment, Regional Planning and Energy Commission of the States Council (CEATE-E) has decided to reject the initiative for a Swiss PS climate fund and Swiss Vert-Es without counter-project. “Extreme heat waves, drought, mountain sections that fall. The consequences of the climate crisis are always more violent, in the world as in Switzerland, “denounces Lisa Mazzone, president of the Swiss Vert-Es. “However, the right majority of Parliament continues to close their eyes to the greatest challenge of our century. It makes fun of our health, our living conditions and our future. Even though the population has clearly expressed their desire to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. ”
By rejecting the initiative for a climate fund, the CEATE decides to remain crossed rather than acting concretely to effectively protect the climate. “Thanks to the Climate Fund, it would be possible to invest massively to develop solar energy, promote public transport, support the decarbonation of companies, or even training for the future professions necessary for the protection of the population against the negative effects of the climate crisis,” said Mattea Meyer, co-president of the Swiss PS. “The Climate Fund would allow Switzerland to succeed in the energy transition in a socially equitable manner, to respect its international commitments and to finally free itself from its dependence on oil, gas and coal. »»
Faced with the irresponsible attitude of this bourgeois majority, the Green and the Swiss PS are ready to carry out a strong campaign to make climate protection triumph in the Parliament. Then, if necessary, in the polls. It is about our health and the future of future generations.
