Thousands attend climate demonstration in Switzerland
More than 60,000 protesters gathered in the Swiss capital Bern on Saturday, September 30, demanding tougher policies to combat climate change, organizers said, less than a month ahead of a national election.
Such large protests are rare in Switzerland and show growing public frustration with the pace of policy-making to combat global warming despite ample evidence of its impact.
Switzerland's glaciers have shrunk by 10% in two years, while September was the hottest on record in a country warming at more than twice the global rate.
