Abstract

France's new government is committed to reducing carbon emissions and promoting clean energy despite facing fiscal constraints and political challenges. The country plans to focus on renewables, nuclear power, and energy efficiency investments to transition from fossil fuels to clean power. Legislative elections may impact these targets, with the Senate pushing its own energy law and debates on the role of nuclear and renewables. The government aims to achieve a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990, with targets for electric cars, biofuels, renewable heat, and nuclear reactor construction.
