34 percent of respondents agreed with the Young Greens' proposal, while 3 percent were undecided, as reported by "20 Minuten" on Friday. Typically, the 'yes' share of an initiative falls as the voting campaign progresses. There are still weeks to go before the ballot, and the debates and campaigns are only just beginning.
The Alliance for Environmental Responsibility wants an economy that conserves resources and is calling for the constitution to be amended. Within ten years, Switzerland's environmental impact should no longer exceed the "planetary boundaries" in relation to its population.
The Federal Council and Parliament reject the request. They fear that the targets for the economy are too radical.
The survey of 10,139 people was conducted on December 18 and 19. The margin of error was 1.7 points.
