Modeste Traoré from Mali, West Africa, is a fisherman by trade. But the water in Lake Wegnia is so low that his family has not been able to make a living from fishing for a long time. He is desperate at how much his livelihood has already been destroyed.

The regions in the global south are much more severely affected by the climate crisis than western countries, although they are only responsible for a fraction of the harmful greenhouse gases. In order to cover the additional costs caused by the climate, the wealthy states agreed in Paris in 2015 to jointly support the developing countries financially in accordance with the polluter pays principle. For the first time, the new CO2 law provides for a climate fund from which, among other things, international climate protection tasks can be financed. This relieves the climate-strained development budget and helps Switzerland live up to its proportional responsibility. It is an important step towards a consistent and fair climate policy. Get involved and make your election promise today for the CO2 Act, which is expected to be voted on on June 13.06.2021th, 2 -> https://coXNUMXgesetz.ja-stimmen.ch/abwahl/?src=klimaallianz
