Public energy role models commit to ambitious climate protection goals
Bern, 19.10.2021 - The Civil Federal Administration, the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS) and 13 other participants in the Exemplary Energy and Climate Initiative are leading the way: by 2030, they will increase energy efficiency and expand renewable energies. Federal Councillors Simonetta Sommaruga (DETEC) and Viola Amherd (DDPS) today joined the other participants to launch the second phase of the Exemplary Energy and Climate Initiative at the Thun military training ground. The initiative contributes to implementing the Energy Strategy 2050 and achieving the net zero climate target by 2050. A new aspect in the second phase is climate-compatible financing, because today's investment decisions will in part determine future levels of greenhouse gas emissions.
