[Switzerland] Protests: Peaceful protest

On 9 April 2025, at the call of Elders for the Climate (Ainees pour le Climat), Doctors in Favor of the Environment (Medecins en Faveur du Climat), and Greenpeace, more than 400 people, mostly women, and including local elected officials from Strasbourg (France) and Bern, gathered in Bern (Bern) to demand stronger state action against climate change. Protesters unveiled a 2.5-ton memorial stone from Strasbourg, symbolizing continued pressure on Swiss authorities one year after the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the Swiss state was failing to sufficiently protect citizens from the effects of global warming.
