net-zero target as part of its long-term strategy submitted to the UNFCCC in January 2021. The net zero target generally covers key elements but fails to meet best practice standards for some of them.</p><p data-block-key="3s5v7">Switzerland’s target covers all sectors and gases underpinned by emissions pathway analysis and the communication of clear strategic goals and emissions targets per sector. However, the Swiss government currently fails to provide explicit and transparent assumptions on several key elements. International aviation and shipping attributable to Switzerland are not covered by the target’s scope. Switzerland has also not yet set up a periodic reviewing cycle of measures and interim targets. The proposed measures aim to achieve net zero on Switzerland’s own territory, but it reserves the right to use international offset credits, even if only for technically unavoidable domestic emissions.</p><p data-block-key="9r9gl">While extensively outlining challenges ahead and sketching technological opportunities, Switzerland’s strategy so far fails to articulate detailed action pathways and quantified measures. The policy document has also not yet been enshrined into law, which could make targets and measures legally binding and more transparent.</p><p data-block-key="von1">The current assessment does not account for the outcome of the 18 June 2023 public referendum on Switzerland's Climate Protection Act (Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft, 2023b). If accepted, the Act would enshrine Switzerland's net-zero target in law, introduce binding interim and sectoral targets, and require the parliament to develop periodic roadmaps for achieving the target. Although improving across several key elements, if the law passes, the CAT would still evaluate the scope, architecture, and transparency of Switzerland’s net-zero target as ‘Average’.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="content-section content-section--has-left-side"> <div class="container"> <div class="content-section__left-side"> <h3 id="section__cat-analysis-of-net-zero-target"> CAT analysis of net zero target </h3> </div> <div class="content-section__content"> <div class="content-block"> <div class="net-zero-ratings-matrix"> <div class="net-zero-ratings-matrix__matrix" style="--main-color: #EFAA51;"> <header class="net-zero-ratings-matrix__header"> <dl> <dt>Switzerland</dt> <dd>Comprehensiveness of net zero target design</dd> <dd>Average</dd> </dl> </header> <div class="net-zero-ratings-matrix__grid"> <div class="net-zero-ratings-matrix__row-spacer"> <span>Scope</span> <hr/> </div> <div class="net-zero-ratings-matrix__wide-cell"> <b>Target year:</b> 2050 </div> <div class="net-zero-ratings-matrix__cell" style="--main-color: #66A655;
