The environment in Switzerland: mixed results
Bern/Neuchâtel, 1.6.2007 - The Swiss policy on environment and resources has produced positive results in several areas such as water quality, waste treatment and certain atmospheric pollutants. These are the findings of the report entitled «Environment Switzerland 2007» published by the federal government on 1 June 2007. However, the general state of the environment in Switzerland has not improved significantly. Our style of life and patterns of consumption have cancelled out the progress made in environmental protection. The main challenges for the future remain the use of resources and climate change.
