Switzerland has committed itself to achieving net-zero emissions by the year 2050. This raises questions about what instruments it can use to achieve this efficiently and effectively. How do these instruments work, and what impact do they have on the economy as a whole?
Based on our experience with the entire spectrum of climate protection instruments in Switzerland and various international analyses, we make recommendations for the selection and design of country-specific instruments. We analyzed existing instruments and determined their effectiveness and efficiency, along with their interaction with other instruments. We focus in particular on the economic impact of climate change and political measures in our economic analyses.
