The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is too slow in France
Created at the end of 2018 in France, the High Council for Climate (HCC) notes that "the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions continues to be too slow and insufficient to meet future carbon emission targets. »
"The decline
of 0.9% in 2019 is similar to the average of previous years and still far from the decline of 3 % expected from 2025 onwards. "This is due to delays in transport and construction.
The HCC points out that "the share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption is to be increased from 32% to 33% in 2030, an ambition that will require a major effort to be made to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix.This ambition will require increasing the rate of deployment of these energies, whereas the 2020 deadline of 23% will probably not be reached, at the risk of sanctions from the European Commission. It is up to the government to clarify the method towards a change of scale allowing to go from 16% in 2018 (nearly 6 points of accumulated delay to catch up) to 33% in 2030. »
The HCC reminds that it is necessary to "insert the recovery plan within the limits of the climate. »
