Despite an expected decrease of 2.8% this year, France's rate of decarbonisation remains insufficient to meet its climate commitments by 2030.
On Tuesday, 13 October, Citepa unveils its first half of 2026 greenhouse gas emissions barometer. The downward trend remains well below the country's climate targets.
According to the agency responsible for monitoring emissions, carbon emissions decreased by 4.1% in the first half of the year and could decrease by 2.8% over the year as a whole.
Buildings and transport carry the bulk of the country's greenhouse gas emissions reduction for the current year.
The transport sector contributes significantly to this decline, according to a report by Citepa, the body responsible for drawing up the official balance sheet of French emissions.
The transport sector is among the good students, less the energy industry and agriculture sector. Citepa estimates that the reduction remains "unless the average annual reduction necessary to achieve the climate objectives". - Greenhouse gas emissions in France: -2.8% in 2026, a decrease "less than" the objectives (Environment).
