Switzerland voted in favor of a new law on climate change

Swiss voters on Sunday voted to pass a new climate change law that, if passed, will reduce the country's dependence on imported oil and gas. Projections by the GFS Bern institute and published by public broadcaster SRF showed that 58.3 percent of voters approved the law. According to the SRF, the deviation was plus or minus 2 percentage points. "The supporters have reason to be happy," Urs Bieri of the GFS Bern institute told SRF. "But by no means are they all in favor of the law. The cost argument produced many 'no' votes." (Matthew Davies)
