Climate activists have targeted banks to highlight the link between finance and climate change.
Posters have put up outside UBS and Pictet with slogans such as ‘man doesn’t see the danger only the profit’.

The two Green Parties and the group of left-wing parties support the idea. But the Geneva Citizens’ Movement are more cautious and say any assemblies shouldn’t override traditional democratic legitimacy.
