Greenhouse gas emissions fell by 2.7% in France last year, according to new provisional figures released on Monday. This decrease is mainly due to a lower use of fossil fuels for heating, reflecting the policy of energy sobriety.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne recently unveiled a new trajectory to reach 270 million tonnes of C02 equivalent in 2030. The France aims to reduce its emissions by 50% in 2030 compared to 1990 levels, which means reducing them twice as fast as today.
