The Federal Council wants to invest a total of 2.207 billion francs in environmental protection.

The federal government and the cantons are jointly responsible for protecting the environment and protecting people from natural hazards, according to a press release from the department of Environment Minister Albert Rösti (56). That is why the Federal Council wants to spend more than two billion francs between 2025 and 2028.

  • R32 million will be spent on wildlife and hunting
  • The forest will receive 451 million francs
  • 153 million francs is available for protection against natural disasters
  • 384 million francs must be spent on nature and landscape
  • The highest amount is intended for flood protection: 481 million francs.
  • In terms of revitalization, that is 146 million francs
  • 102 million francs is available for noise protection
  • 450 million francs should be provided for waste water treatment plants
  • 8 million francs is available for the remediation of the residual water.

In so-called program agreements, the federal government negotiates with the cantons for four years about objectives in individual environmental areas. To realize these projects, the cantons subsequently received federal funding. (SDA/brother)
