On September 17, the Federal Council decided on the further course of action in climate policy. This was based on an analysis of the result of the vote on the revised CO2 law, according to which generally the concern about rising costs, in particular the possible increase in the price of gasoline, led to rejection, according to the media release. The Federal Council had also been informed by the Uvek about the discussions with various associations that the Federal Office had held in the aftermath of the June 13 vote.<\/p>\n

The current CO2 Act requires the Federal Council to submit proposals to Parliament in good time on reduction targets for the period after 2020 and thus also additional measures. It has therefore instructed the Uvek to prepare a consultation draft by the end of the year that takes account of the outcome of the vote and is suitable for creating as broad a basis as possible for future climate policy. According to the federal government, the focus should be on measures that enable the population to reduce CO2 emissions in everyday life and that support the ongoing efforts of the various industries.<\/p>\n

Future climate policy as a whole is to be based on a mix of instruments: The steering effect of the CO2 tax is to be supplemented with effective incentives and targeted support.<\/p>\n
