Massive Climate Protest Sweeps Swiss Capital as Thousands Demand Action

Over 60,000 protesters gathered in Bern, Switzerland, demanding stronger policies to combat climate change ahead of the national election. The protest reflects growing public frustration with the slow pace of policy-making despite evidence of the impact of global warming. Switzerland's glaciers have shrunk by 10% in two years, and September was the hottest on record. The Green Party, which aims to boost its presence in the upcoming legislative poll, estimated the number of participants. The protesters called for a change in government to achieve rapid and effective climate protection, as Switzerland's current policies are deemed insufficient by experts.
