Overview
- Citepa reports a 1.6% drop in greenhouse-gas emissions for 2025, slowing from 2024’s 1.8% decline and far below the national trajectory.
- Buildings fell 1% and energy production 0.2%, with energy-sector progress easing after earlier swings linked to 2022 nuclear outages and a 2023 rebound.
- Industry emissions decreased 3.4%, driven largely by lower activity in chemicals, cement and metallurgy rather than lasting decarbonization.
- Transport fell 1.4% on reduced road fuel use; reaching the national pathway implies around −5% for transport by 2030, −7% for buildings and −4% for energy.
- Citepa revised its midyear estimate from −0.8% to −1.6% and will release consolidated figures in June, as climate groups like RAC press for faster fossil-fuel exit; Germany also saw a similar slowdown at −1.5% per Agora Energiewende.
