ZURICH - Switzerland’s Greens took aim at the country’s financial services sector after parliamentary election gains which shifted the balance of political power to the left.
“Do not invest any longer in coal or fossil energy. Renewable energies are the opportunity for the future,” Rytz said in an interview published on Monday after the Greens’ best ever showing in Sunday’s Swiss elections amid growing climate change concern. Rytz called for an all-party roundtable on the policy response to climate change in landlocked Switzerland, where temperatures are rising twice as fast as the global average.
Marie-Claire Graf, 23, who helped organize climate strikes in Switzerland, has said activists may target investment policy.
