French NGO Takes Climate ‘Fair Share’ Case to Conseil d’État

The filing invokes historical responsibility alongside greater capacity to argue for stronger national targets and funding.

Notre Affaire à Tous avait, avec d’autres associations, fait condamner l’État par deux fois en 2021 dans un recours dit de « l’Affaire du siècle ».
L’ONG demande notamment à la justice de «reconnaître que la France accuse un retard persistant dans la réduction de ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre».

Overview

  • Notre Affaire à Tous confirmed it filed the case in January and publicly disclosed the action on December 4.
  • The NGO asks the court to recognize a persistent shortfall in France’s greenhouse‑gas cuts relative to an equitable contribution.
  • Official monitoring by Citepa shows a slowdown in emissions reductions, with a 1.8% drop in 2024 and about 0.8% forecast for 2025.
  • Recent policy changes cited as evidence include a narrowed MaPrimeRénov program and reductions to the Green Fund.
  • The group does not state a numeric ‘fair share’ but references studies and historical data, noting France produced 2.3% of cumulative global CO2 from 1850–2021, and expects a first ruling by late 2026.
