The High Council for the Climate (HCC) is an independent body established by Emmanuel Macron at the end of 2018. It is responsible for evaluating France's climate policies.
France aims to reduce its emissions by 50% (-55% net) by 2030 to comply with European commitments and achieve carbon neutrality. The organization points out that accelerating the reduction in emissions is “all the more necessary” as the current state of health of our forests, following the impacts of climate change, strongly limits their contribution to carbon storage.
