""The downward trend in emissions is continuing, albeit at a slower pace," Citepa said in a statement, adding that the reduction "remains insufficient" to meet France's 2030 climate targets."
""To stay on track, greenhouse gas emissions need to fall approximately 4 percent on average every year until 2030," highlighting the urgency of the situation."
""Setbacks in public policies for ecological transition" have been blamed for the slowdown in progress in tackling emissions, according to Anne Bringault, director of programs at the Climate Action Network."
""Efforts to focus attention on tackling climate change are being overshadowed by wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, a global energy crisis, and growing economic turmoil.""
France's greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 1.5 percent in 2025, continuing a downward trend but insufficient to meet 2030 climate goals. The country needs to reduce emissions by approximately 4 percent annually to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The reduction rate has slowed significantly from previous years, with emissions from energy generation rising slightly in 2025. Challenges in reducing emissions stem from politically sensitive sectors like transportation. Public policy setbacks and global crises have overshadowed climate change efforts, reflecting a broader trend in industrialized economies.
