France's Carbon Emission Cuts Set to Slow Again in 2025: Report
- On July 4, 2025, Citepa indicated that France's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are slowing once more, continuing a recent pattern of decline.
- This slowdown follows a sharp decline in emissions reduction from 6.8 percent in 2023 to 1.8 percent in 2024, with emissions rising slightly in early 2025 due to increased heating demand.
- France, as a major economy and EU member, faces similar challenges to Germany and Britain, with EU emissions falling 8.3 percent in 2023 but broader momentum weakening across Europe.
- Cipeta noted that emission cuts could fall to 0.8 percent in 2025, while nuclear power use should remain stable at historically high levels, but fossil fuel use is unlikely to decrease further.
- The continuing slowdown risks putting France's 2030 target of at least 40 percent emissions reduction further out of reach despite plans to raise it to 50 percent amid growing international pressure.
