France's greenhouse gas emissions stopped declining in the first quarter of 2025
Carbon emission rates stayed almost flat (+0.2%) from January to March and are set to drop by only 0.8% over 2025, according to the CITEPA nonprofit tasked with calculating emissions. This pace falls far short of climate targets.
This small decline in emissions observed by Citepa on Friday would "confirm the slowdown in the dynamics observed in recent years".
A pre-estimate unveiled by the Citepa this Friday, July 4 draws a country even more out of the nails in the climate struggle this year, after an already poor 2024 year in terms of emission declines.
According to the latest data from Citepa, France saw its CO2 emissions rise again between January and March of this year. Bad news for the government that has just been pinned on the inadequacy of its climate policy by the High Council for Climate.
After having already taken a serious step in 2024, France's reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is expected to slow again in 2025, with an estimated decrease of only 0.8% over the year as a whole, announced on Friday the Citepa.Over 2025, gross emissions are expected to decrease by about 0.8%.
The fall in greenhouse gas emissions in France is expected to be only 0.8% by 2025, announced Friday, July 4, 2025, the body responsible for preparing the country's carbon balance. This small decrease in emissions would "confirm the slowdown in the dynamics observed in recent years".
