19. Our question:

Asked by: Makongo Secondary School | Kantonsschule Baden (1)

Is there any support from no-governmental organizations [NGOs] in tackling climate change problems in your country? If yes how?

Yes,

The system in Switzerland is a bit complicated. We are a democracie.

The important things are subdivided in different "departments".

We have a department for environment. These guys are doing a very good job.

On the other hand we have a lot of organisations, which make great efforts in solutions for the environment.

But I believe it's important that first of all the big countries like America, Russia, China... take care of their CO2 emissions. Is it really useful, if 7Mill. people in Switzerland shut every evening their computer down, and on the opposite site there are 400 Mill. people, who drive every day for hours with their own car ????

What measures have been taken by your country in tackling global climate change?

In our country we have many public means of transport and we want to travel a lot with them. So we don't want to travel a lot with the car but there are many peoples who don't care about the climate.

We also want to promote the nature energies. For example we want to produce morn with whater and Wind and sun energy.
