"France's roadmap does not present new pledges but brings existing climate and energy policies and targets under one umbrella with an explicit goal. Analysts said no other country had published such a clear and comprehensive plan and it sent an important signal at a moment when countries are reassessing their reliance on fossil fuels."
"Coal would be phased out by 2030, oil by 2045 and gas by 2050 for energy purposes, the roadmap said. 'That's quite original, because we are probably one of the rarest countries who have a clear deadline for all fossil fuel energy,' he told reporters in Santa Marta."
"The roadmap also committed to phasing out fossil fuel production, electrifying sectors like heating and transport, and helping finance the transition in other countries. It formalises France's existing targets for reducing greenhouse gas pollution - namely to reduce emissions by five percent a year over the 2024-2028 period with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050."
France has unveiled a comprehensive plan to phase out coal by 2030, oil by 2045, and gas by 2050, aiming to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This roadmap consolidates existing climate policies and sets clear deadlines for fossil fuel use across its economy. France's envoy emphasized the uniqueness of this plan, which also includes commitments to electrify heating and transport sectors and support other countries in their transitions. The roadmap aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 and a five percent annual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2024 to 2028.
