Let’s pay more attention to the co-benefits of Switzerland’s decarbonization targets

To help keep global warming in check, Switzerland has committed to a net-zero emissions target by the mid-century.

These are, however, often overlooked. The latest post argues that to take sound decisions related to the energy transition, it is important to consider all the associated costs as well as benefits.
