Overview

• The Assembly approved the law 275–252 on June 17, removing Low Emission Zones and diluting zero net artificialization measures.
• Deputies from Ensemble pour la République largely rebelled against the text, opposing amendments they viewed as rolling back key ecological policies.
• With Assembly and Senate versions in conflict, the measure now moves to a commission mixte paritaire to seek a reconciled draft.
• Lawmakers are still debating an energy bill that sets a 58% decarbonized power target by 2030 amid disputes over building new nuclear reactors versus strengthening renewable quotas.
• These legislative battles carry weight for France’s 2026 municipal elections and will shape the country’s environmental and energy strategy toward 2030 goals.
