Swiss Climate Transition Reporting: Key Developments

Swiss Climate Transition Reporting: Key Developments

On 1 January 2025, the Swiss Climate and Innovation Act ("CIA") and its implementing regulation, the Climate Protection Ordinance ("CPO"), will enter into force, formalizing Switzerland's long-term climate protection goals. Among other measures, the new framework mandates that Swiss companies achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Notably, the CIA and CPO provide essential guidance for the development of transition plans, which are set to become a central element for companies subject to mandatory climate reporting requirements.

Climate change landmark case – European Court of Human Rights condemns Switzerland for not doing enough against climate change

Climate change landmark case – European Court of Human Rights condemns…

In a historic ruling, the European Court of Human Rights ("Court") found that the European Convention on Human Rights ("Convention") encompasses a right to effective protection by the State authorities against the adverse effects of climate change. The Court found that Switzerland had failed to act in a timely and sufficient manner to adopt and implement relevant legislation and measures to mitigate climate change, violating Article 8 of the Convention. Although the judgment is final and binding, the Court did not order Switzerland to take specific measures to comply with the ruling. This new case law will undoubtedly have a significant symbolic and political impact. While the rights protected under the Convention are not directly applicable to private entities such as companies, the judgment may however add further momentum to so-called horizontal climate change lawsuits brought against private entities.
