By 2050, Switzerland aims for ~7 MtCO₂ removals annually (2 Mt domestic, 5 Mt international via Article 6 deals). This policy brief explains how Switzerland’s unique mix of legal certainty, financial support, and international cooperation makes it a model for climate action and a strategic opportunity for buyers and suppliers.
