In 2024, France saw a decrease of greenhouse gas emissions by 1.8%, as reported by the Citepa association; however, this was markedly less than the 5.8% reduction observed in the 2022-2023 period. The country is at risk of not meeting its target to halve emissions by 2030. The 2024 reduction equated to 6.7 million tonnes, falling short of the 15 million tonnes needed annually. Reliance on nuclear and renewable energy contributed to this year's success, yet transport and housing sectors lagged in progress. France’s overall emissions totaled 366 million tonnes, the lowest since 1990, indicating some progress but also highlighting challenges ahead.
Greenhouse gas emissions in France dropped 1.8% in 2024, but this reduction is less than the 5.8% recorded in the previous year.
Citepa noted that the transport and housing sectors showed little progress, contrasting the successful reduction in the nuclear and renewable energy sector.
