France Unveils Ambitious Climate Strategy with New Emission Targets

The plan aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, focusing on transport, housing, and renewable energy expansion.

The French government has launched a public consultation on its new climate and energy policy, which includes the National Low-Carbon Strategy and Multiannual Energy Plan.
Key goals include reducing the reliance on fossil fuels from 60% in 2022 to 42% by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Transport emissions are targeted for a 31% reduction by 2030, with a push for electric vehicles and increased public transport and rail freight.
The strategy involves renovating 400,000 individual homes and 200,000 collective residences annually to meet emission reduction targets.
Plans to expand renewable energy include doubling onshore wind capacity and developing 50 offshore wind farms to significantly boost wind energy output by 2050.
