France's forecast for greenhouse gas emissions indicates a reduction of only 0.8 percent in 2025, which continues a slowdown trend. After a 6.8 percent decrease in 2023, emissions declined by 1.8 percent in 2024. From the first quarter of 2025, emissions have slightly increased, driven by higher heating demands. France's target for 2030 aims for a 40 percent reduction from 1990 levels, proposing an increase to 50 percent. Achieving these targets requires more than a five percent annual cut in emissions, which is currently not being met.
France's greenhouse gas emissions are estimated to decrease by less than one percent in 2025, extending a slowdown trend from previous years, according to Citepa's report.
Despite a significant 6.8 percent reduction in 2023, France's emissions decline slowed sharply to 1.8 percent in 2024 and is projected to drop to only 0.8 percent in 2025.
France aims for a 40 percent reduction in emissions by 2030 from 1990 levels, with plans to possibly increase this target to 50 percent.
The stagnation in emissions reduction is not only a challenge for France, but for other European countries like Germany and Britain, who are also facing similar issues.
