Voters in Switzerland have backed a new climate bill designed to cut fossil fuel use and reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The government says the country needs to protect its energy security and The Environment , as glaciers melt rapidly in the Swiss Alps .
The Law will require a Move Away from dependence on imported oil and gas towards the use of renewable sources.
In Sunday's referendum 59. 1% of voters backed The Green energy proposals.
Opponents had argued the measures would Push Up energy prices.
Nearly all of Switzerland's major parties supported The Bill , except the right-wing Swiss People 's Party (SVP), which triggered the referendum after pushing back against the government's proposals.
Switzerland imports about three-quarters of its energy, with all the oil and natural gas consumed coming from abroad.
The climate bill pledges financial support of 2bn Swiss francs ($2. 2bn; £1. 7bn) over a decade to promote The Replacement of gas or oil heating systems with climate-friendly alternatives, and SFr1. 2bn to push businesses towards green innovation.
It Comes as glaciers in the Alps are at particular risk of rising temperatures due to Climate Change . They lost a third of their ice volume between 2001 and 2022.
Leading Swiss glaciologist Matthias Huss, who has closely followed the glaciers' retreat, hailed the " strong signal" sent by Sunday's vote, saying on Twitter that he was " very happy the arguments of climate science were heard".
Socialist Party parliamentarian Valerie Piller Carrard said it was " an important step for future generations".
Voters also overwhelmingly backed plans to introduce a global minimum tax of 15% for multinational corporations in a second referendum, with 78. 5% in favour.
In 2021, Switzerland joined almost 140 countries that signed up to an Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter hailed the " very strong acceptance rate" for The Plan to amend The Constitution so Switzerland can join the agreement.
Participation in Sunday's referendums was about 42%.
