Source: FSO Air emissions accounts (2020) 4 Long-term target for 2050 In line with the scientific evidence, based on the Paris Agreement, in accordance with its highest pos- sible ambition 17 and in view of specific economic and social requirements, Switzerland has set itself the following long-term target18: Switzerland should achieve balanced greenhouse gas performance by 2050 at the latest (net zero). Switzerland s greenhouse gas target for 2050 (net-zero target)â¦ â¦ means achieving equilibrium between sources of emissions and removal and covers all internation- ally governed greenhouse gases (not just CO2); â¦ includes all sectors in the greenhouse gas inventory (energy, industrial processes and product us- age, agriculture, land use, land use changes and forestry (LULUCF), waste and others); â¦ covers the emissions within Swiss national borders (territorial or point of sale principle); â¦ also includes the emissions from international aviation and shipping attributable to Switzerland; â¦ does not determine specific domestic and international shares for emission reductions; â¦ represents an interim goal where future development after 2050 is still undecided.
