With a media conference in Guttannen, broadcast as a livestream, the Alpine Initiative launched its campaign for the referendum on Switzerland’s new CO₂ Act. The Alps are running out of time. For the population, as well as the fauna and flora of the Alps, the referendum on June 13^th is about more than just the new CO₂ Act. Entire habitats and existences are at stake. This is why a YES to the CO₂ Act is mandatory.
