Overview
- The plan sets greenhouse‑gas milestones of 55% cuts by 2030 versus 1990, 90% by 2040, and carbon neutrality by 2050, with an oil phase‑out targeted for 2040–2045 and an end to fossil gas by 2050.
- Transport goals include 15% of the vehicle fleet electric by 2030 and 66% electric among new car sales, supported by a push for French and European manufacturing.
- Buildings policy leans on 8.8 million heat pumps installed by 2030 and 700,000 home renovations per year, while electricity’s share of final energy is aimed to rise from 37% in 2023 to 55% in 2050.
- The government frames the strategy as an action plan focused on deployable levers like EVs and heat pumps rather than prescriptive lifestyle changes, with sectoral carbon budgets set in five‑year periods.
- The text enters consultation and review by the Conseil national de la transition écologique and the Haut Conseil pour le climat ahead of a possible decree in about three months, as NGOs and experts question feasibility given slower recent emissions declines.
