Overview
- The official monitor Citepa estimates national greenhouse‑gas emissions fell 1.6% in 2025, slower than 2024’s 1.8% decline and far below the 5.8% drop in 2023.
- France’s SNBC‑3 pathway calls for average annual cuts of 4.6% through 2030, a pace Citepa says the country is not meeting.
- Buildings fell 1% reflecting delays in renovations, energy production slipped 0.2%, transport declined 1.4% on lower road‑fuel use, and industry dropped 3.4% largely due to reduced activity in chemicals, cement and metallurgy.
- Power‑sector emissions are estimated down about 4.5% in 2025, a smaller improvement than in 2023–2024 as the one‑off effect of prior nuclear reactor outages recedes.
- Citepa revised its mid‑2025 estimate from a 0.8% drop to 1.6% after indicator updates and methodological corrections, with consolidated figures due in June as climate advisers press for stronger policy action.
