The city of Biel put its climate protection regulations into effect at the beginning of the year, the city of Bern is working on corresponding guidelines. Now Köniz is also supposed to do something for better climate protection: With 25 yes to 14 no, the parliament referred an initiative by the Greens, which calls for more tangible specifications in this area.
The politicians opposed the municipal council, which rejected the move. The fronts were clear in the vote. Left-Green-Center (with GLP and EPP) voted in favor of climate protection regulations, the commoners spoke out against it.
