Art. 10 Federal Law of September 30, 2022, on Climate Protection Goals, Innovation, and Strengthening Energy Security (CPrG) - Role Model of the Confederation and the Cantons

The Confederation and the cantons serve as role models to achieve the goal of net-zero emissions and to adapt to the effects of climate change.

By 2040, the central federal administration must have at least achieved the net-zero emissions goal. In addition to direct and indirect emissions, emissions generated upstream and downstream by third parties are also considered.

The Federal Council determines the necessary measures to achieve this goal. It may provide exceptions related to national security and the protection of the population. It regularly informs the Federal Assembly about the degree of achievement of the goal.

The cantons aim for at least the net-zero emissions goal from 2040 for their central administrations; this also applies to federal affiliated companies. The Confederation supports them in their role model capacity by providing them with the necessary foundations.
