Climate protection: Federal Councillor Sommaruga chairs talks on international climate goals
Bern, 7.9.2021 - On 7 September, around forty environment ministers held a video conference to discuss the issue of whether countries could in future better coordinate timeframes for their climate goals. Federal Councillor Simonetta Sommaruga led these international talks together with Rwandan Environment Minister Jeanne d'Arc Mujawamariya. Alok Sharma, the president of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference, has tasked the two environment ministers with seeking a solution before COP26. The proposals are to be presented at the end of September at the Pre-COP in Milan, which serves to prepare for COP26.
